Oh what love...

oh what love, Oh what LOOOOOOVE

yes it's deep down in there, in the midst of my exhaustion , there is passion and excitement and LOVE - oh what love.
God, even when I'm weak continue to work in and through me. ESPECIALLY when I'm weak - cause that's when your strength shines through. I pray that this next season, whatever it may hold, you would be RIGHT there in the midst. That you would just prepare the hearts of the people - each and every one of them. The ones who are opening themselves up to you to be vessels for the works of you and the ones who are opening themselves up to be healed and restored. Oh what love!!! Let the love of the father go deeper and deeper and deeper until we can't take it anymore and then go even deeper! Stir it up, stir it up. We were made to serve you and praise you. We were made to be your hands and feet. Fill us up as we pour out. Help us to love extravagantly like you love us! It never ends, it never dries up. It just flows and flows and rises and floods. Wash this place. Wash my heart, wash it out, and then flood it out. God, you're right here and you never leave. Help me to find you in the midst of daily life. To see your beauty in everything around me. You are so awesome God. and I love you. I love you, I love yoouuuuu!!

Oh what love!

Say Won't You Say...

I was never a huge Jennifer Knapp follower. I know a decent amount of her songs, I believe.
Tonight "Say won't you say" started playing in my head. I had no idea what that song was about so I decided to look up the lyrics.

Say won't You say
Say that You love me
with love, ever, love, love everlasting?
All my devotion put into motion by You

Every morning I
have a chance to rise and give my all
but every afternoon I find I have only wasted time
In light of Your awe
Isn't love amazing, I forgot how to speak
knowing You are near and I am finally free

My eyes fear to close
this reckless letting go is hard to bear
on the edge of all I need, still I cling to what I see
and what have I there?
Bred my own disaster, who have I to blame?
When all I need is waiting to be fanned to flame

I opened up my eyes to see You standing there
Oh I can barely breathe, and I can hardly bear
All the love that I feel for You inside
I hope You feel it now, some,somehow

After reading through this a few times and attempting to find a semi-decent version to listen to on youtube - I was able to really see/hear what this song is about. I definitely can relate. Especially the first verse and the morning and afternoon thing....Not just with God at times - everything.

I am super tired so I'm ending this now. I just felt like writing so here I am and there I go.
