Poem
Why am I such a dusty window For your light to shine through? Why am I just a tiny star In a sky already blue? Why do I offer everything With my heart closed like a fist? I want to love You better than this Why do I live like I'm in chains When You have set me free? And why do I have to break Your heart Before I fall to my knees? I know it's time to pray for change Give all I have to give I want to love You better than this chorus: So renew me Remake me Undo me Unbreak me Come into the empty spaces Of my broken places And consume me Complete me Pursue me Redeem me Let Your Holy Spirit living through me Renew me I need You as my refuge My first and last resort Be the river always running Through my deepest thoughts Keep me in Your arms 'Cause even when I drift I want to love You better than this chorus: So renew me Remake me Undo me Unbreak me Come into the empty spaces Of my broken places And consume me Complete me Pursue me Redeem me Let Your Holy Spirit living through me Renew me My life bending to Your will Seeking You until I'm more and more like You Heritage Singers: Youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2h0s5Z0VAw Since I can't blog, I just wanted to share this song that has been going on in my mind today...an endless loop. God is so good. I'm just so in awe of how patient He is with me. I wander, forget that early love for Him that consumed my life, disappoint, and yet....He doesn't give up on me. I was asked to speak to my church group tonight. Though that used to be the highlight of my life...lately...I went through my old messages...wanting to just...spout out something...but this morning...He opened up my mind. He opened up my mind and just POURED it all in. The whole talk...verses and everything! The title...The Forgotten Verses! I'm going to share about Poetry Soup...how there is a link for good community members who post and encourage other poets....and how as a body of believers, we need to be there for each other...meeting one another's physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs...with verses that support. My foundational verse is the one after that MUCH quoted verse of Apostle Paul: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. WELL KNOWN, but the forgotten verse comes right after: Nevertheless, you have done well that you shared in my distress. (Philippians 4: 14) THAT is community. Sharing in the pain...bringing healing. My heart is full. Please, hear the song and be blessed. Pray for me tonight? Thanks!
