This morning, as I walked up to the cafe for breakfast, I heard a Paul McCartney song that I had not heard for a long time–and it wasn’t just for my ears–it was open and free as it played on the radio. I was giddy and alive.

💚Go through the day and night and hear that God is your fan, he’s singing your song.💚

🎶Baby, I’m amazed at the way you love me all the time,

And maybe I’m afraid of the way I love you.🎶

💚5 You have multiplied, O Lord my God,

    your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us;

    none can compare with you.💚

Psalm 40:5

🎶Maybe I’m amazed at the way you pulled me out of time,

You hung me on the line.

Maybe I’m amazed at the way I really need you.🎶

💚Wondrous.💚

🎶Baby, I’m a man, maybe I’m a lonely man

Who’s in the middle of something

That he doesn’t really understand.🎶

💚Were I to proclaim and tell of them,

    they would be more than can be counted.💚

🎶Maybe I’m amazed at the way you’re with me all the time,

Maybe I’m afraid of the way I leave you.🎶

🎶Maybe I’m amazed at the way you help me sing my song,

Right me when I’m wrong-

Maybe I’m amazed at the way I really need you.🎶
