What I Thought I Wanted by Sara Groves

this is dedicated to my friend Amanda. These pictures are all mine except for one. I hope you enjoy it.
Lyrics -

Tuxedo in the closet, gold band in a box
Two days from the altar she went and called the whole thing off
What he thought he wanted, what he got instead
Leaves him broken and grateful

I passed understanding a long, long time ago
And the simple home of systems and answers we all know
What I thought I wanted, what I got instead
Leaves me broken and somehow peaceful

I keep wanting you to be fair
But thats not what you said
I want certain answers to these prayers
But thats not what you said

When I get to heaven Im gonna go find Job
I want to ask a few hard questions, I want to know what he knows
About what it is he wanted and what he got instead
How to be broken and faithful

What I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted

Staring in the water like Esops foolish dog
I cant help but reflect on what it was I almost lost
What it was I wanted, what I got instead
Leaves me broken and grateful

Im broken and grateful
I want to be broken and grateful
I want to be broken, peaceful, faithful, grateful, grateful
I want to be broken, peaceful, faithful, grateful, grateful

I love this song. It's so full of the truth that sometimes (or most times) what we "want" isn't always what we need. God knows what we need. He doesn't line up with us and our "needs." We are to line up with Him and know what we already have and what we really need. We need to have faith that God Will Provide.

Thank God for her ministry! This song is soooo perfect for my situation this morning! Thank you Lord, I'm praying for William and Kolya and the others - brake them Lord, and me too.

At 3 months old Sara's cry would touch the hearts of 200 convicts inside a federal prison at a Christmas Eve service. I was fortunate to have been one of them and she still touches my heart today.

What he thought he wanted what he got instead leaves him broken yet grateful

What I thought I wanted what I got instead leaves me broken somehow peaceful

I keep wanting you to be fair but thats not what you said

I want certain answers to these prayers but thats not what you said
