Show me what it means by Meredith Andrews

You don't want my perfection
All You ask of me
Is that I show up broken at Your feet
You don't want my religion
You are looking for devotion
That is more than just routine

So show me what it means

To take up my cross
And count it all as lost
All for the sake
Of knowing You
To love my enemies
And care for those in need
Show me what it means
To follow You

Have I become like the Pharisee?
Passing by the needy
While I'm speaking Jesus on my lips
Will I walk with You on raging seas?
Or will I turn away
When You want more than what I want to give

So show me what it means
What it means

To take up my cross
And count it all as lost
All for the sake
Of knowing You
To love my enemies
And care for those in need
Show me what it means
To follow You

To love as You love
And live as You lived
To never give up
On giving You my life
To love as You love
And live as You lived
To find out what it means
To be alive
To be alive

To take up my cross
And count it all as lost
All for the sake
Of knowing You
To love my enemies
And care for those in need
Show me what it means
To follow You

If you have never heard of or listened to Meredith Andrews I highly recommend that you do. Her songs are amazing. The lyrics will convict you and challenge you. Lately her 2 albums are all I listen to. I usually end up in tears at the end of each song. My heart so longs to have a deeper love for my King and Savior. My heart so longs to live passionately for my King. My heart so longs to live the way Jesus Christ did on this earth. My heart so longs to live the kind of faith that says God you are truly all I need that nothing else matters. I so desperately want to have this kind of faith and love for my King. I know its a process. That God is working in me transforming me to be the image bearer that He created me to be. As I mentioned in yesterday's post God has used several books to change our hearts. Here are a list of these books. As you read them be ready for the Holy Spirit to began a work in your heart. Its challenging, its convicting, but oh how wonderful it is to have God's peace, love, grace, mercy, and forgiveness at work in your life! I know we are just at the beginning stages of it. We battle everyday with surrendering our will to our Heavenly Father's will, but oh its so worth it. God's love truly is better than life!!!
