In all of your ways, in everything I see
Jesus take this empty vessel and live in me
I want to know Your will, I want to know Your love
I want to feel Your life, Your life that breaths in me
So take this broken clay, please change my life today
Fill this vessel Lord, keep me close to You
I want to know You Lord, I want to see Your Face
I want to serve you Lord, for the rest of my days

Jesus You are the joy in my heart
Jesus You are the light in my step
You make my heart rejoice in singing
You are my praise in the tears I have wept
You are so wonderful, always wonderful
Everlasting in all you’ve done for me
You are so beautiful, so very beautiful
In your Graciousness now I see

The Hope of God
I need a demonstration of inspiration, so Lord I pray for Your liberation of my mind as I gaze into this wonderful creation You have presented to us. In all of my imaginings I find myself falling desperately short of even rising above the layer of dust collecting on the window seal as I gaze out into this wonderful view of life and all of its beauty.
Looking away from the pain and agony that my own flesh torments me with daily. When I gaze into Your Glory I see the wonders of Your Hope with which you have saved me, this Hope that came long ago and learned the very lesson of which I so desperately need to learn. This obedient Hope that removed from me all the darkness of my selfish life lived for my own lust in open rebellion against You.
A futile desperation to satisfy that very yearning from deep within my very soul. That cries out I need You, even when I don’t even know You. Oh Hope of God Please continue to free me from these chains that so easily entangle me. From this miserable attempt of mine to live in Your Favor. So that one day I will be with You, the Love of my life, my Saviour, Jesus the Hope of God to this world Lord God, You so Dearly Love.
