mark schultz - you are a child of mine

I’ve been hearing voices
Telling me that I could
Never be what I wanna be.
They’re binding me with lies,
Haunting me at night,
And saying there’s nothing to believe.
Somewhere in the quietness,
When I’m overcome with loneliness,
I hear You call my name.
And like a father You are near
And as I listen I can hear You say

You are a child of Mine
Born of My own design
And you bear the heart of life.
No matter where you go,
Oh, you will always know
You have been made free in Christ.
You are a child of Mine

And so I listen as You tell me who I am
And who it is I’m gonna be.
And I hang on every word,
Knowing I have heard
I am Yours and I am free
But when I am alone at night
That is when I hear the lie
You’ll never be enough
And though I’m giving into fear
If I listen I can hear You say

You are a child of Mine
Born of My own design
And you bear the heart of life.
No matter where you go,
Oh, you will always know
You have been made free in Christ.
You are a child of Mine

I just got the best, most encouraging email from a frosh... :) She's really excited and wants to study more of the Bible and read lots of books... she thinks ccf is a big blessing and is almost 100% sure she wants to join :) And she was worried in the summer that she wasn't going to find a group of Christian friends.. but now she knows that she's at Mac for a reason and God will provide no matter what :) And she's excited to see what God's gonna do this year. :)
So am I!!!!!!!

I'm off to the library... better late than never right? :)
