In this obsession with / The things this world says make us happy / Can’t see the slaves we are / In all the searching, all the grasping / Like we deserve much more / Than all these blessings we’re holding / So now I’m running free / Into an ocean of mercy, unending // So come and empty me / So that it’s You I breathe / I want my life to be / Only Christ in me / So I will fix my eyes / ‘Cause You’re my source of life / I need the world to see / That it’s Christ in me, yeah / That it’s Christ in me, yeah // Done with what holds me down / The things I once was chasing after / Throw off these heavy chains / That I have let become my master / So now I’m running free / Into an ocean of mercy, unending

Last year was probably one of the toughest years I’ve been through in quite a while. In a four month time span, our beloved family dog passed away from cancer, my long-time job was eliminated and I was sent to a different division at the company, then my mother passed away suddenly, and I resigned at work. Life felt like it was spinning out of control and I could do nothing to stop it. However, through the grace of God, a lot of tears and questioning, plus a TON of prayer, I made it through the darkest moments. I am beyond grateful for WBGL and the consistent connection to prayer, worship music, and encouragement to find peace during the pain and confusion of life.
