My Heart Cries Out!

The more I seek you by Zach Neese
The more I seek You
The more I find You
The more I find You
The more I love You

Chorus:
I wanna sit at Your feet
Drink from the cup in Your hand
Lay back against You and breathe
Feel Your heartbeat

This love is so deep
it’s more than I can stand
I melt in Your peace
It’s overwhelming.

You are the One by Lincoln Brewster
You’re the One Who made the Heavens
You’re the One Who shaped the Earth
You’re the One Who formed my heart
Long before my birth
I believe You’ll always lead me
All my days have been ordained
All Your thoughts toward me are holy
Full of love and grace

CHORUS:
You are the One You are holy
You are the One You are worthy
You are the One
You are the One everlasting
You are the One I will worship
You are the One I will serve all my days
You are the One
You are the One everlasting
You are the One
Jesus You’re the One

Worthy, You are worthy by Matt Redman
Worthy, You are worthy
Much more worthy than I know
I cannot imagine
Just how glorious You are
And I cannot begin to tell
How deep a love You bring
O Lord my ears have heard of You
But now my eyes have seen

You're worthy
You're worthy
You're worthy
You're worthy to be praised
Forever and a day

Glory, I give glory
To the One who saved my soul
You found me and You freed me
From the shame that was my own
And I cannot begin to tell
How merciful You've been
O Lord, my ears had heard of You
But now my eyes have seen

We'll sing an anthem of the highest praise
We'll sound an anthem of Your glorious name


I don't think there is any possible way that I can express in words how God has been so good and faithful to me. The change in my heart that God has done over the past four months is indescribable. I have made the choice that water proof mascara will now be worn to every church service because I have yet to sit through one that hasn't brought tears to my eyes. These 3 songs were sung yesterday at church. As I looked for the lyrics this morning and just reading through them again my heart cries out in joy, love, and awe for my Heavenly Father. I have so longed for the deep passion I have now and I long for even more. As I have struggled many times in my walk with the Lord, His grace and mercy has always been there and now has opened the eyes of my heart to see JESUS!!! Here goes the best way of describing what God is doing in my life. God created us to be His image-bearers. That we are to reflect an accurate picture of who God is. Well, because of Adam's sin, that mirror was broken. Only because of Jesus leaving His place in Heaven and coming to earth to live a perfect sinless life in complete humility and die on the cross for our sins do we have a way to have a personal relationship with our Heavenly Father. Now through the power of the Holy Spirit at work in our lives God can take and start putting the pieces of that broken mirror back together that we may reflect an accurate picture of God to the world around us. I am no where near being a completed mirror, but piece by piece of everything that I have been through in my life God is re-making that mirror. Oh, how wonderful it is to be an image-bearer for the Creator of the universe. I am thankful that He is the one I serve! That He is worthy! That His love is deep and unconditional. He is the only One that deserves all of our praise, honor, and glory!

There have been many tough things going on with a lot of families in our church, and yesterday was one of those services where the worship could have been less than robust, because of so many heavy hearts. Instead, as a church, we sang away and praised our God, who is Lord over it all. Worship is such a wonderful blessing the He has given us, isn't it?

And seriously... we might need to start stocking Kleenex at the end of each pew! Maybe I'll send a box to Oklahoma...

Glad to hear all is well with you Dana! When are you making a trip this way?

Hi Dana -
Just wanted to say THANK YOU for your sweet post on my blog! It really was such an encouragement and blessing to my heart! It blesses and humbles me to know that others read about what God is doing in my heart and life (and that of my family)! And I consider it truly an HONOR that God used my blog with that of other people's blogs to stir your heart! AWESOME for what God is doing in ALL of our lives, I agree, at times it is really difficult to walk through! I can't wait to hear ALL about what God has been and is doing in your life! Blessings, blessings, blessings!!
In Him
Maria
