I recently found a Word file that contained things I had written while attending the Worship Conference at Bethel Church a few years ago. It was really interesting to look back at where my heart was during that time. I still have my notebook/journal from that time as well, and I think I may pull it out and check that as well. It was mostly poetry/lyrics, and that sort of thing. I don't think I ever actually ended up using any of it, but it's been refreshing to read words that were written during a very important and transforming time in my life. Some of it feels a bit cliche and whatnot, but I know it was written in sincerity... So it's okay to me.
many call Your works by other names
but they can never know what it is like to be truly awestruck
until they let You hold them
and You long to do just that
give me the strength and power to break down walls
to love others with Your love
especially those who do not seek You
help me to be a vessel
imperfect, and yet perfect enough to show Your grace and mercy
Take my weakness, strip it away
Take my darkest place, take it and shine Your light into it, O’ God
Take my faults and turn them into Your strengths, O’ God
Do not let me stray – I am weak and I need Your love to set me
Apart from all that I have known before
O’ Lord, O’ God, this fire – let it burn ever brighter
Brighter than before
Until all can see the flame in my heart that reaches out for You
Devouring others in its wake
Setting them aflame for You,
And only You
For eternity
For You
