My artwork improves by the chapter, so the beginning is kind of sketchy. Hard work doesn't work unless you work hard :)

So . . . I did a thing.
**PLEASE BARE WITH ME THIS IS GONNA BE A LONG ONE BUT IT'S IMPORTANT**
This song — So Will I by Hillsong United — has really captured my heart and not let go. It's such a beautiful worship song that gives me this overwhelming peace that you can only get from one person, our gracious and holy God.
I understand if some of you looking at this sketchbook aren't followers of Christ, and I'm not going to push you to do anything you don't want to do. I just want to show you my favorite parts of this song. It shows that you are fearfully and wonderfully made, spindled together piece by piece, quirk by quirk, beautiful flaw by flaw, for a purpose.
I feel like this has settled on my heart and compelled me to share this with anyone who will listen. I wrote my favorite lyrics down below. I get that this is a lot to read, especially since you probably just came here for a mediocre sketch drawn by me, but please take the time out of your busy lives to just wind down and enjoy your life.
Also, if you feel compelled to, please feel free to comment on your favorite part of the song or something that really gripped at your heart.

"I can see Your heart in everything You say Every painted sky A canvas of Your grace If creation still obeys You so will I"
"If the stars were made to worship so will I If the mountains bow in reverence so will I If the oceans roar Your greatness so will I For if everything exists to lift You high so will I If the wind goes where You send it so will I If the rocks cry out in silence so will I If the sum of all our praises still falls shy Then we'll sing again a hundred billion times"
"God of salvation You chased down my heart Through all of my failure and pride On a hill You created The light of the world Abandoned in darkness to die And as You speak A hundred billion failures disappear Where You lost Your life so I could find it here If You left the grave behind You so will I"
"I can see Your heart in everything You've done Every part designed in a work of art called love If You gladly chose surrender so will I I can see Your heart Eight billion different ways Every precious one A child You died to save If You gave Your life to love them so will I Like You would again a hundred billion times But what measure could amount to Your desire"
