Empty and Beautiful

I love Matt Maher. Ever since I first heard him in 2005 at Steubenville I practically fell in love with him. When I went this last summer to Steubenville again my love for his voice and his music began a full blown obsession. His songs are like drugs to me. No matter how I feel his music makes me happy and filled with a sense of peace. It's a little weird if you ask me, but I'm not complaining. I can't wait for the summer when we go to Stubenville again. Matt Maher is of course not the only thing that is incredibly amazing about Steubenville, but he is definitely a big reason to attend in my book. Anywho, there are songs of his that I like better than the one I'm about to post. However I feel like this song I have a better connection to. The lyrics just fit.

Empty and Beautiful

My past won't stop haunting me
In this prison there's a fight between
Who I am and who I used to be

This thorn in my side is a grace
For because of it the flesh and blood of God
Was offered in my place, my place

You fought the fight in me
You chased me down and finished the race
I was blind but now I see
Jesus You kept the faith in me

Where did my best friends go?
In my defense they disappeared
Just like Your friends did to You, oh Lord

But You were there, You gave me strength
So this little one might come to know
The glory of Your name, Your name

You fought the fight in me
You chased me down and finished the race
I was blind but now I see
Jesus You kept the faith in me

Awaiting, set apart like incense to Your heart
A libation I'm pouring out
Empty and beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

You fought the fight in me
You chased me down and finished the race
I was blind but now I see
Jesus You kept the faith in me

You fought the fight in me
You chased me down and finished the race
I was blind but now I see
Jesus You kept the faith in me
Jesus You kept the faith in me
Savior, You kept the faith in me
