Deeper Places

Deeper Places

I give myself to You today

To be completely swept away

Lost inside the glory of Your love

As deep calls unto deep

Oh Lord my soul cries out for You alone

Drowned within the river of Your heart

You bring Your life to my soul

I'm alive in You

Let Your Kingdom shine through my life

I want more of You

I wanna go to the deeper places

Deeper places Lord

To know the dreams of Your heart

I wanna find all the secret places

The hidden places Lord

'Til there's nothing left to know

I'll be completely Yours

Awaken every part of me

The buried places I can't see

Ignite my heart with love uncompromised

Your presence is my sole desire

I long to burn with holy fire

And demonstrate Your power here on earth

I love You Lord

With every breath I sing for all eternity

I lift Your name up

I lift Your name up

I lift Your name up

Jesus be glorified

Notes:

There is something to be said about one who says/sings/thinks these words and really means them. I realize the levels of trust that it takes for someone to say to any one person that they give themselves completely to be swept away by this person. I don't think I would trust anyone to be amazing enough to be swept away completely by them... to give myself over to them entirely. I couldn't sing these words to any human because I know they couldn't follow through, and that would crush my spirit in ways I don't even really want to explore. However, that is why these songs are written to God- in response to the ways one has recognized a need or a desire for more, and found everything of this world as falling short of being able to fill this need... and a desire to see these needs filled. But what is to be said about one who was to actually MEAN these words is that God will... follow through. It sounds trite, I know, but it is true and worth rehearsing. The weight of our words and our actions that happen in the moment goes so much deeper than what we intend for the future, most times. God has proven himself worthy, holy, righteous, amazing, completely trustworthy, and absolutely loving in my life, and in the lives of those that I know and have read about. In the short time that I have had on this earth, if there is one thing I am happy to have learned it is that I can give myself completely to God, and that my desire to be swept away completely into something can confidently be carried out through life- life that I received because of Christ as a sacrifice for my sins (death) on the cross.

Today I want to go to the deeper places to know the dreams of God's heart for me and for the world.

I have felt a desire as of late (the past three years?!)- now that I have resources as I live on my own- to use those resources for others, not myself. I've started a campaign for clean water through www.mycharitywater.org that I have donated to, and hope that whomever is reading this (the small numbers, I know) will also. 100% of what is donated goes towards the projects. You can read all about it. We will raise $200 in the next three months. Hopefully, we can raise more!
