Day 3: Wooing through Song

Sometimes we don't know how much God is using us to bless our friends, family, and even strangers. I think my friend didn't know how much I needed to hear the lyrics to the song she wrote for me. For my graduation, she gave me a USB with a song she wrote to encourage my walk with God.

Even though it's been 2 weeks since graduation, the song has pierced my heart in the deepest way possible. It is truly inspired by the Holy Spirit and EXACTLY what I needed to here right now. Here are the lyrics:

I'm reaching up to You Lord.
I want to feel you near.
I feel that every time that I disappoint You,
You accept me for who I am.
And this is all I have to offer You:
my spirit, my talents, my all.
I want to touch You.
I want to feel You.
I want to walk right next to You.

I want to live for You
I want to live for You, my Lord.
I want to live for You
I want to live for You, my King.

What does it mean to live for You, to die for You, my King?
What does it mean to love You first, to love You first always?
What does it mean to live for You, to die for You, my King?
What does it mean to love You first, to love You first, my God?

I want to live for You.
I want to live for You, my KIng.
I want to live for You
I want to live for You, my Lord.
I want to live for You.
I want to live for You, my KIng.
I want to live for You
I want to live for You, my Lord.


Let that be the prayer of my heart: I want to live for You, my Jesus.
