Out of chaos life is being found in You!

Beautiful Things (words/music by Gungor)
All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You

You make me new, You are making me new

Genesis 2:7 (New International Version)

⁷ the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

This line struck me this morning as I'm listening to this new album of GUNGOR. I don't think we fully appreciate the enormity of life coming from chaos. Chaos is a lack of order, lack of path and direction and out of all of that chaos at the beginning of the world God stepped in and made life. We see that in Genesis where God methodically brings order to chaos and meaning to nothingness. And what more appropriate substance that we think nothing of, dust, God choses to use to form the man and to breathe life into him. Out of chaos life is being found in You. I can think of no better way to express that scripture than these words.
