Love these lyrics

I've been listening to this song the last few days. I love the way that the words of Jesus are paraphrased. This part, "The kingdom of the heavens is now advancing; invade my heart; invade this broken town" may stick with me for some time.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!!

Your Love is Strong
by Jon Foreman

Heavenly Father
you always amaze me
let your kingdom come in my world
and in my life

give me the food I need
to live through today
forgive me as I forgive
the people that wrong me

lead me far from temptation
deliver me from the evil one

I look out the window
the birds are composing
not a note is out of tune
or out of place

I walk to the meadow
and stare at the flowers
better dressed than any girl
on her wedding day

So why should I worry?
Why do I freak out?
God knows what I need.
You know what I need!

Your love is strong

The kingdom of the heavens
is now advancing
invade my heart
invade this broken town

The kingdom of the heavens
is buried treasure
would you sell yourself
to buy the one you've found

Two things you told me
That you are strong
And you love me
Yes, you love me
