This Song That You Sing

What is this song in my heart Lord? It ebbs and it flows. It reaches height in crescendo that I have never heard. It fills my heart with exhilaration but then the sweetness of it brings me to tears. I struggle to write the music, but my words cannot describe its depth. Its melody is beyond the capacity of my heart to contain for its richness is more than I can bear. It brings to me the freedom for my spirit to fly and the fulfillment of longing that I have never experienced to such fullness.

It is your spirit within me my Lord that gives music to my soul. Your presence within me is overwhelming in ways that I struggle humbly to describe. I am both pauper and king. My place in this world is that of indebted peasant, but I am graced by the presence of the living God in my heart. My wealth cannot be purchased at any price and the richest of men may not be able to share in it but by your grace. I am rich in your mercy, wealthy in measure of your grace. In your love I hold that which is priceless beyond measure and unable to be appraised. I am blessed beyond wealth by your presence in my heart and my house. My humble household is a mansion beyond the measure of wealth when your spirit abides. The wisdom of your song I cannot carry in full measure at once. I struggle to write words to describe the sound of your heart song to mine and my description is lacking for the words are insufficient to describe the presence I enjoy. You are beyond the description of this world and its wisdom. Your heart more beautiful than anything man can relate to in words. Your song is without end and your majesty will reign forever.

You are forever my love and my heart constantly seeks more of you for I can never have enough of your heart to satisfy the longing. Your love is contagious and addictive and I am your slave for all eternity. My soul is thrilled and alive because of your presence. My heart leaps to declare its love for you. My tears of longing and gratitude fall like rain in your presence. I have been one chosen and saved by your grace. I have been redeemed from a life meaningless and hollow leading to the depths. I am one convicted, found guilty and sentenced to death. I have been granted clemency by the God of my creation and exonerated without cause from the accusations of the destroyer who sought my death.

My days were without meaning even when I thought my feet walked your path. I struggled to perform out of duty that which I should have joyed to do out of love. The secrets you show me give life to my soul, They are the words of your wisdom rendered to my understanding by the spirit of my God. They are the lyrics of the song that you sing to my heart and your love is the music that is the wellspring of my life.

I wondered in my youth who I was to become. My heart was tender and my thoughts given to peace. Music that I heard moved me and service brought me pleasure. Words were my prize and were rendered in secret to those who would not scorn them. But my heart was always seeking the love that would satisfy beyond the capacity of flesh. I realize in my age that I have found my true purpose and now recognize the love that I sought. I see now that the days of my youth were in training to be in relationship and service to the one God of my heart. But though you have blessed me beyond reason in my love relationship with you, I would humbly beg to ask one more thing of your heart. Give me the words to describe the music you sing to me that I may share it with others. Make me a reflection of the greatest love of my heart. Let me not be seen but you my Lord and let me not be heard but your music instead. Your song is too sweet to horde and your love too precious to keep. May I serve you my God and thereby add to my pleasure and let the words that I write be only your song to be sung from the mountain tops with abandon in your praise.

The Real Power To Affect Change

I know that my position here may not be popular on it's face at first, but I think it could be most revealing of where some hearts are - even my own, by the response that it evokes... I think it's possible that we're all partly responsible for the chaos and darkness that is constantly swirling around in the digital tornado that is the constantly hammering news these days. While we may not have contributed to it directly by our own actions, it's a good bet that we may have contributed to it by our own inaction. Where does the true power to change things come from? And who is our best example to follow in this life? Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed." Mark 1:35 (NKJ) "Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God." Luke 6:12 (NKJ) "Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought ...

An Observance And Observing True Reality...

As Easter approaches, I begin once again considering how our God sees our observance of an occasion as I always do and also what He might truly desire of us in observance above any of our trivial, man inspired traditions . What I come away with in firm conviction is the understanding that the most trivial of my sins, the least of my crimes against God, had the power to forever damn me in His judgment of me and send me into unending torment. And that knowing this one thing in truth and as reality, is key to my correct posture before God in honor of His purpose in the event. That key being the horror of knowing that the price of my very least sin was the shedding of my Christ Jesus' blood and His horrible suffering, because the reality of this brings the deep rending of my heart in awe and gratitude and it makes possible my true joy at the relief of my sentence because of what He has done. I believe this is a part of what God would desire from us in observance of Christ's death a...

Judging, Judgment And Judge...

"I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark. I will not judge those who hear me but don’t obey me, for I have come to save the world and not to judge it. But all who reject me and my message will be judged on the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken. I don’t speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it. And I know his commands lead to eternal life; so I say whatever the Father tells me to say.” John 12:46-50 (NLT) A lot is said these days about "judging", but in the midst of that popular societal buzz and the assertive comments that come with that conversation, I have a question: If God has called something sin and we simply agree with what He's said,... are we judging or just repeating and declaring the truth? When He walked the earth, Jesus spoke about judging and He pointed out the danger of our judging...  “Do not judge other...
