Great & Holy

This morning I went to New Westminster Citadel and had a wonderful time with the Lord. There are so many things that I could share about this morning. I will do my best to remember them and try not to bore you!

My hands were freezing! That's random, I know. It was pretty funny when I touched Joe's arm and he gave me a look then told me to put them in my pocket...only to realize that I was in my uniform skirt...hmm...hands in the pockets don't really work in uniform skirts!

But on to the stuff with some importance.

We sang a song that was written by
  • Karyn
  • and I love it! The words just speak to me in a powerful way. I have actually had the words to this song since before Christmas, but didn't post them. I'm hoping she won't mind that I share them with you...but I'm guessing she won't, it is a song, afterall.

    Great and Holy

    May the parts of me I have given You
    Grow and swell until they fuse and bind
    And my offering shall be one and whole
    Until You have all of me
    Until You have all of me

    Great and Holy are You, God, are You, God
    Great and Holy are You, God, are You, God

    May I not grow used to Your righteousness
    May I understand through your worthiness
    That my broken words cannot be enough
    Until You have all of me
    Until You have all of me (Chorus)

    May I lose myself in Your greatness, Lord
    Until all I speak are silent words of praise
    And the offering becomes a fragrance sweet
    Until You have all of me
    Until You have all of me (Chorus)

    After Dave spoke on God's Love, which I've been experiencing in a new, wonderful way recently, I was so filled with the feeling of love that I could not contain myself and I just started to cry. There was a family that went to the Mercy Seat (Mom, Dad, and baby daughter) and it was so beautiful. I was touched beyond words - which brought more tears.

    "Listen, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you." Deuteronomy 6:4-6

    Praise the Lord! God's love is AMAZING!!!!

    Blessings.
