My new favorite song

I have a new favorite song. I've only heard it on the radio twice... the first time I just wanted to pull over and listen for a while. The second time I heard it, I cried. It was just so beautiful. Finally today I had to do some serious research to figure out who sang the song that's been playing in my head for a week now. It's Audrey Assad and the song is called "Known." You can listen to it for free by going to her myspace page. There's so much I love about this song... First of all, her voice makes me think of my beautiful friends from Clemson, especially Katie, Lindsay, Melissa, Kristi, and Heather, who have amazing voices. Somehow this song takes me back to Clemson and the time we spent together... it makes me miss them all so much (and don't worry those of you who don't sing, like me, I miss you too)! But what I really love most about this song are the words. I couldn't find the lyrics anywhere online, so I wrote down a little bit of the chorus and a verse (of course, I could've gotten some of these words wrong, so I apologize...):

As a mother knows her baby's face
You have known me
You have known me
As the summer air within my chest
I have breathed you deep down to my breast
As you know the hairs upon my head
Every thought and every word I've said

Savior, you have known me as I am
Savior, you have known me as I was
As I will be
In the morning, in the evening, you have known me, God, you have known me

As a lover knows his beloved's heart, all the shapes and curves of her, even in the dark
You have formed in my inward parts
You have known me
You have known me

The words bring to mind some of my favorite people in the world, who know me so well: my mom, my dad, and Eric. And it reminds me that no matter how much I forget to remember God, he remembers me. He knows my every thought and my every word and amazingly, he still loves me. I believe this is true with everything that I am.

This song also makes me think of Chase and of my new son or daughter that is being formed inside me. That's right, I'm pregnant! (I guess that might explain my random crying over a song in the car.) I'm about 6 weeks pregnant and our new member of the family should arrive sometime in July! I love to think about how God made Chase and how he's creating a new baby, cell by cell, within me. It's amazing, it's miraculous, and it's beyond my understanding. I'm so excited to be a part of it!
