After a stressful day of work I went over to the chruch to practice some worship music with Deb. I am up to lead this Sunday and I was unable to practice with Joyce and Andy during regular practice time.
One of the songs we will be singing this Sunday is "Take My Life and Let It Be"...This song takes me way back to when I was just a little girl. I remember practicing it when I was 6 or 7 ,with my Mom, because I was going to sing it in church. The words are pretty amazing...I dont know if I knew exactly what I was singing when I was that little but I DID know that I loved our Lord and that I wanted to use my gifts for Him. While I was thinking all of this during worship practice we sang this verse
Take my voice and let me sing
Always only for my King
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee
Two thoughts:
1)I have been singing all these years since then thanks to my parents support. They have always encouraged me to use my voice for God and serve Him in that way. When I go without singing I really do feel a sense of emptiness...like I'm not complete.
2)The entire song is about God taking me and allowing me to serve Him...and I really believe that God has been faithful to me over the years. I have had my falling down and outs....but He has always been faithful to bring me back to Him. A nice reminder that He never let's go of those who love Him. He always brings them back to Him.
