Empty Me

To stand, recognize that God looks at us in that position. He recognizes, probably has a little smile as we humble ourselves, on our knees, face down or whatever posture you decide to take…but it’s the heart that HE looks at, sees, receives, unlike our fellow man.

The following lyrics are poignant, very real and it is where I find myself as I look at my life, the circumstance that brought me to this place and the knowledge of HIS faithfulness and friendship. It’s a daily process to empty oneself, rid of the poison of not just pride but bitterness, all the things that want to fill you/me and not allow the FULLNESS of HIS love in your life.

Thank you GOD for listening, leaning in, smirking (cause I can tell you do….i would), reaching in, embracing me/us, and LOVING unlike no one else can.

I know today I am not the same I was when it all began…thank you Father for working in me…drawing closer to you!!!

I've had just enough of the spotlight when it burns bright
To see how it gets in the blood.
And I've tasted my share of the sweet life and the wild ride
And found a little is not quite enough.
I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change.

Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me so I can be filled with you.

I've had just enough of the quick buys of the best lies
To know how prodigals can be drawn away.
I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change.

Cause everything is a lesser thing
Compared to you, compared to you.
Cause everything is a lesser thing
Compared to you. So, I surrender all!

Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me so I can be
Lord empty me of me so I can be filled with you.
Oh, filled with you. Empty me.
