Blogging this week has been difficult. Each day I was trying to think of something noteworthy to share about and I felt I was coming up kind of short. It was a typical week for the most part. Work, several appointments, lunch with a friend, Preston was home sick for a few days, etc. I was glad when the weekend arrived and I had a super Saturday today. The church service I attended tonight was spectacular and as we were worshipping the words to one particular song struck me upside the head. I'm going to share part of it with you, It's called Let my lifesong
Lifesong by Mark Hall
Empty hands held high
Such small sacrifice
If not joined with my life
I sing in vain tonight
May the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to You
Let my lifesong sing to You
Let my lifesong sing to You
I want to sign Your name to the end of this day
Knowing that my heart was true
Let my lifesong sing to YouIt truly brought me up short as I read the lyrics and sang the song. Wow...
"I want to sign your name at the end of this day, knowing that my heart was true."I really mean this statement and want it to control how I live.
Our young adult small group has been studying the book Crazy Love by Frances Chan. The book has been very convicting and I've just been examining my life in light of what is important. It is so hard to live in this world and keep our eyes based on heaven instead of what is temporary. I struggle with it daily and want to keep reaching to be more in love with God than this daily life.
So near the end of a very great day here in the temporary I loved being reminded by a total worship moment that my lifesong is one that I want to present to my loving Savior. Today and every day.
