God of All of Me

I wonder if this is truly our prayer? This song has been a great blessing to me and I hope and pray it is for you too!

GOD OF ALL OF ME

by Sandi Patty

Lord, You are God of the morning light

Master of the shing sun and ruler of the night

God of the earth and God of the sea

Voice that fills creation from the mountains' majesty

Lord, God of all, You know my ways

Giver of breath to my dying day

All Mighty God of all I can see

Build up Your Kingdom in me

Father, take my heart, hold it in Your hand

Be the God of all of me

Father, take my life, everything I am

Keeper of my soul

God of all of me

Lord, in my soul, in secret parts of me

There are places in my heart that only You can reach

Brighter shines my hope than the morning light

Deeper is my stain of sin than any dark of night

Father who rules all of earth and sea

Reighn over dreams that I dare not speak

Lord, God of all be God of these

Rule every Kingdom in me

Father, take my heart, hold it in Your hand
Be the God of all of me
Father, take my life, everything I am
Keeper of my soul
God of all of me

Contentment

"As long as we base our sense of contentment on anything in the world, we will always find some excuse to make ourselves miserable. Our problem is not on the outside--it's on the inside, and therefore it will never be solved by getting more of what we think we want. If we do not learn to be satisfied right now in our present situation--whatever it is--we will never be satisfied at all. .

The truth is that if God wanted us to have more right now, we would have it. . . . If we were supposed to be in a different situation in life, we would be in it. Instead of always saying, "If only this" and "If only that," God calls us to glorify him to the fullest right now. . . . Contentment means wanting what God wants for us rather than what we want for us. The secret to enjoying this kind of contentment is to be so satisfied with God that we are able to accept whatever he has or has not provided."

Quote

I found this quote printed on another blog (The Purple Cellar http://purplecellar.blogspot.com/) and wanted to put it on mine too! It is lovely and the source might surprise some of us!

"The idea that I shall become used to being without you is really funny. I could speak for a long time on the subject. As I have told you many, many times, the passing of the years does nothing but deepen and intensify my love for you. When I think of those days in London in 1925 and '26, when I thought that no greater love was possible, I could laugh. But honestly, during this last year I had come to believe that it was not possible for a man to love his wife more than I loved you. And yet I see that there is no end to love, and that it is still true that "absence makes the heart grow fonder." I am quite certain that there is no lover, anywhere, writing to his girl who is quite as mad about her as I am. Indeed, I pity those lovers who are not married."

The writer? D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, to his wife Bethan, September 25, 1939, reproduced in D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones: Letters 1919-1981, Iain Murray, Ed. (Banner of Truth 1994).

Happy Easter!!

The Lord is risen! Hallelujah!

Trust you have had a blessed Easter.

Hmm and Easter

For some reason I cannot separate the song into verses and chorus! Oh, well never mind!

Every blessing this Easter Weekend! Our Saviour died and rose again for us! What an awesome Lord we have! Praise HIM!

Here I Stand

Here I Stand

Here I stand, covered by grace

Under the blood that was shed for me

Here I kneel, before the King upon His throne

Here I bow, to worship the Lord

Enjoying his favour on my life today

Knowing that we’ll never be apart

I’m a child of God created for my Makers’ pleasure

Chosen to enjoy Him forever

Granted dignity by what He says about me

Made in His image, precious in the eyes of my father

Purchased by the death of my Saviour

I have been given life to the full

Here I stand, covered by grace

Under the blood that was shed for me

Here I kneel, before the King upon His throne

Here I bow, to worship the Lord

Enjoying his favour on my life today

Knowing that we’ll never be apart

In this precious place

I’m basking in the warmth of the sunshine

The whole experienced and the presence

Brings such joy to me and such liberty

Oh I’m standing firm

Holding fast to all you have spoken

Now promises none will be broken

I lift my faith in Jesus Christ

And all will believe all the lives that I heal

And no self-esteem whispers into my ear

That I’m worthless and poor, I’m lost and alone

At moments like that I must look to the throne

Here I stand, covered by grace

Under the blood that was shed for me

Here I kneel, before the King upon His throne

Here I bow, to worship the Lord

Enjoying his favour on my life today

Knowing that we’ll never be apart
