We Are Dust But You, Glorious (Psalms 103) - Original Song

I like how this song turned out, although I don't really like how my voice is. In my humble opinion, my last song had the largest vocal range I've sung before. But since this song is about my limited nature and God's glorious nature, I think my bad vocals fits into the concept that my worship is very small compared to God. Yes, my music is very small indeed.

I was thinking today how I used to make videos but now I don't really so much anymore. I tried watching some of them but found them a bit sad: My v-logs were my creative side colliding with pride and some conflict at home. In addition, I think videos are too easy, actually, to consume. We take our eyes for granted and we don't think so much about what we see. I find it more a blessing to read and write words, poems, and songs. I hope this song reminds us of our short time on earth and God's unending nature and love.

"But from eternity to eternity
the LORD’s faithful love is toward those who fear Him" 
Psalms 103:17 

I am really have been feeling the weight of discipline on me lately. God desires to change me, and how I resist! Pushing and shoving, pulling hairs, I resist. Ah, and so almost like he says, "Have it your way, Tofu Burger King"and "Surely you will see the ramifications of your actions".

So that's when I found 5 dollars and decided God's plan is better than mine.

By the way, I would appreciate it when if someone slapped me for talking too much. :)

LYRICS:
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is His faithful love
toward those who  fear Him. 
As far as the east is from the west,
so far has He removed
our transgressions from us.
As a father has compassion on his children,
so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him. 

O Lord, why do you regard us?
For we are dust
But you so loved the world
So we will trust Jesus
