song in my heart

Tuesday, November 22, 2016 (6:39 a.m.)

Blessed God,

Thank You! You gave me a song in my heart early this morning. Turns out it was one we sang during a church service this past Sunday.

♫Take all I am Lord. Use me for Your glory... I'm not my own. I belong to the King♫

What would it look like if I really lived this day as though I truly believe this?

Gary Rea's “Heaven is Here Now (Worship Song)” is so easy to sing. The melody prompts me to sway as I consider the images it brings to mind.

Tears choke in my throat as I do my best not to let them fall. ♫In Heaven there'll be perfect peace There'll be joy in the streets and Every mouth will be singing Your praise There'll be no sorrow at all♫

Truly Father, I can't imagine it! ♫We will be free from every chain And our bodies will be whole again And Your church will be one Spotless beautiful bride For Your Glory We'll see Your Glory♫

Promises. Hope. ♫Heaven is here now Your Spirit is here now Lord we believe it We've started to see it Your Kingdom come♫

Mm. Your Kingdom come... A glimpse here. A peek there. Adjusting attitudes are proof positive that Your Spirit really IS here now.

♫Lord come and reign here Come have Your way here Establish Your rule, Come take the throne Your Kingdom come♫

Holy, Holy God, live through me this day. Let it be clear that ♫I'm not my own I belong to the King♫

Romans 8:9-17 serves to remind us who we really are. Your children (v. 16)! Continue singing in and through me this day Father. I truly long to live not as my own, but as Yours.

I love You. I thank You. And I ask You to ♫Use me for Your glory♫ Thank You Father. I love You. Amen.
