WOW.
I just had a fantastic worship.
I just went to my imeem playlist and used my mouse to randomly land on 5 songs.
Let me put the lyrics here so I can tell myself, and whoever reads this, what God told me (:
Father
Amazing love has won my heart I am in awe of all You've done ->which is a LOT BUT why am I not thankful :( You gave us Jesus and with Him You freely give us everything Amazing love sets me free From all that would weigh down on me ->don't be burdened; don't be anxious! (: You are my strength, my help, my friend And my hope - life without end Father, my Father I am so secure in You Your perfect love drives away all my fear Father I love You for You have loved me first ->put simply, the reason to love God (I think)! And I am grateful for amazing loveRefiner's Fire Purify my heartLet me be as goldAnd precious silverPurify my heartLet me be as goldPure GoldRefiner's FireMy heart's one desireIs to be holySet apart for You Lord
I chose to be holySet apart for You my masterReady to do Your will ->I think that why I've been feeling really dry is because I kind of didn't hunger so much to want to be holy. 'Christ-like' would be equally apt I think! And I was caught up in my stuff, like games and shopping and all that and didn't leave time for God's will. I know God wants me to call people up; I just know it. I've got this heavy feeling now because I think I'm not doing what I've been instructed to do for the past week. BUT I WILL DO IT! (:
Purify my heartCleanse me from within and make me holyPurify my heartCleanse me from my sinDeep withinYou laid aside Your majestyYou laid aside Your majestyGave up everything for me, Suffered at the hands of those You had created. You took all my guilt and shame, When You died and rose again; Now today You reign, In heaven and earth exalted.I really want to worship You, my Lord, You have won my heart And I am Yours for ever and ever; I will love You. You are the only one who died for me, Gave Your life to set me free, So I lift my voice to You in adoration.
I couldn't exactly pinpoint a LINE/PART in the song that spoke to me, so I shall write 'footnotes' instead. Basically as I said before I was feeling really dry, wanting to be hungry but not hungry kind of feeling. One of the worst, actually. I felt I didn't love God very much. And as I was singing this song it suddenly struck me that the reason why God's name is praised all over is earth is because of His mercy. His LOVE for us that He sent Jesus to the cross as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. I was reminded that God's been so good, and I felt myself hunger again. Worship IS amazing.
To the ends of the earthLove unfailing Overtaking my heart You take me in Finding peace again Fear is lost In all you are And I would give the world to tell Your story Cause I know that You've called me I know that You've called me I've lost myself for good within Your promise I won't hide it I won't hide it Jesus, I believe in You And I would go to the ends of the earth To the ends of the earth ->what's really amazing about this song is that each time after I sing it, I have the commitment to really really try and reach out, call people and all that! (: For You alone are the Son of God And all the world will see That You are God You are GodHistory Maker Is it true today that when people pray Cloudless skies will break Kings and queens will shake Yes it's true and I believe it I'm living for you Is it true today that when people pray We'll see dead men rise And the blind set free Yes it's true and I believe it I'm living for you I'm gonna be a history maker in this land I'm gonna be a speaker of truth to all mankind I'm gonna stand, I'm gonna run Into your arms, into your arms again Into your arms, into your arms again Well it's true today that when people stand With the fire of God, and the truth in hand We'll see miracles, we'll see angels sing We'll see broken hearts making history Yes it's true and I believe it We're living for you
Footnotes again! (: I think this song is rather 'random', or maybe that's because I don't totally understand? Like literature?
Anyway what I understand of it is that God is powerful and when we pray in faith, wonders happen!
OH OH OH AND OF COURSE like to the ends to of the earth, I think it also talks about spreading the gospel.
Well, I shall go call the people.
All today, or maybe 1 or 2 first!
No wait, I should listen to 'prayer for a friend' first! (:
I think it's in my imeem playlist, go listen!
