I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much
I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy
Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...
Verse 1: A thousand times I've failed Still Your mercy remains And should I stumble again I'm caught in Your grace Everlasting Your light will shine when all else fades Never ending Your glory goes beyond all fame
Verse 2: Your will above all else My purpose remains The art of losing myself In bringing You praise Everlasting Your light will shine when all else fades Never ending Your glory goes beyond all fame
Chorus 1: In my heart and my soul Lord I give You control Consume me from the inside out Lord let justice and praise Become my embrace To love You from the inside out (repeat)
Chorus 2: Everlasting Your light will shine when all else fades Never ending Your glory goes beyond all fame And the cry of my heart Is to bring You praise From the inside out Lord my soul cries out
yes Lord, i have been bought with Your blood and is no longer i who lives but You who lives in me. i knew today Lord You have spoken to me once agn. i have no rights anymore. Lord, let me carry the cross and follow You. Lord, letting You sit on the throne, not me. i do not want to live my own life anymore. wat You call me, i will do. not my own selfish ambitions. not wat i want to be. but wat You want me to do. back to the original purpose that You created me for. we are all created to worship.i am created for worship. we created for His pleasure.
frankly speaking. i was thinking a few weeks ago: y i cant do my own stuff? y cant i be like other Christians who just attend service and cg once a week and then go live their own lives. i mean do watever i like. be a good, Godly Christian. dun sin, kind, loving to everyone.thats it. and then i can just do wat i like as long as it is not sinful. y? i was thinking abt it a few weeks ago. y was i thinking of that? coz there was this part in me that wanted to do my own things. and i just want to try reason out things with God. haha. and asking Him y. and who can tell me that it isnt possible to? of coz, theres another way. if u reali dun want, God will not force u. is just falling short of that call He has called me to. there was a struggle in my heart. but i noe God wants me more than that. discipleship. isnt that wat i wanted? isnt that wat i've been called to. after that call in 2001, i knew i cldnt ever turn back and wldnt want to turn back for all i care. the world is not mine. i do not belong to it.
to live is Christ, to die is gain. deny yourself, take up that cross and follow Me.
thats the call in 2001. ha. lately, something happened that cause me to recall wat i wanted to be since young. and thats the reason for that qn a few weeks back. y cant i just be wat I want to be? the CAPITAL 'I'. isnt it possible to do wat i want and serve You at the same time? ha. the answer is, God doesnt want to share our heart with something else. He wants everything. He is a jealous God. He wants our wholeheartedness. He wants back wat He has created for. and we nd to come back to the very purpose we are created for.
hm.. i can go on and on. but i think im speaking in tautology. in circles. im not thinking properly. but this entry is suppose to be a positive one. im doing His will. im letting Him take control in my life. is nto my life anymore. is His. and im GLAD. :)
