Isn't it wonderful that we have the ability to express our hearts to the Lord? Lately I have been overwhelmed with worship music. Sometimes I find a song that just says exactly what is in my heart.
This year has been an interesting one. At the moment I don't really know for sure where William and I will be living or what exactly we will be doing. It's been a time of waiting and trusting. Yet with each passing day I have more and more confidence that God knows exactly what he is doing and where he is leading us.
I was telling William just this week that I want this world to be a better place because I lived. One of my deepest desires is that when others see me, they will see Christ shining through. I also long to see others through Christ's eyes. I feel like I've been in such a place of surrender over these past few months. I just want to be where he wants me to be, doing what he wants me to do. I know that that is where I will have the greatest peace and fulfillment (although not necessarily the greatest happiness).
One particular song that has really stood out to me is by Tim Hughs entitled "May the Words of My Mouth" The song says:
May the words of my mouth and thoughts of my heart
Bless your name, Bless your name Jesus
And the deeds of the day, And the truth in my way
Speak of you, Speak of you Jesus
For this is what I'm glad to do
It's time to live a life of love that pleases you
And I will give my all to you
Surrender everything I have and follow you
I will follow you
Lord will you be my vision
Lord will you be my guide
Be my hope, be my light and the way
And I'll look for riches or praises on earth
Only you'll be the first of my heart
For this is what I'm glad to do
It's time to live a life of love that pleases you
And I will give my all to you
Surrender everything I have and follow you
