Was at the Corrinne May concert last night, and heard her sing this song "Crooked Lines". It moved me greatly. Especially the line "God writes straight with crooked lines, He takes the mess we make in life, Turns our groaning into perfect rhyme, Hidden by the veil of time, The wisdom of His love's design, God writes straight with crooked lines." There were so many moments last night when I had goosebumps just listening to her music, which was at once ethereal and ministering. Thank you Abba for Corrinne May!
My daughter tries to draw a butterfly
With her crayons and crooked lines
And she's crying cause she just can't get it right
So I wrap her tiny hand in mine
To guide her with her heart's design
And she smiles as her dreams take flight
Perhaps that's how it is on this labyrinth road
I just need to let Him guide my soul
God writes straight with crooked lines
He takes the mess we make in life
Turns our groaning into perfect rhyme
Hidden by the veil of time
The wisdom of His love's design
God writes straight with crooked lines
I've had days as dark as smoke
When it hurt too much to hope
And it felt like the pain would never end
Searching for answers but finding jokes
Limping along the winding road
Certain He left me all alone
When it's hard to trust that there's a greater plan
Like a child I've got to just hold His hand
God writes straight with crooked lines
He takes the mess we make in life
Turns our groaning into perfect rhyme
Hidden by the veil of time
The wisdom of His love's design
God writes straight with crooked lines
