He's brought me low
So I could know
The way to reach the heights.
To forsake my freams
My self-esteem
And give up all my rights.
With each on that I lay down,
A jewel's placed in my crown.
Because his love
The things above--is all we'll ever need.
He's brought me here
Where things are clear,
And trials turn to gold.
"We are nothing but dust. Our lives are not ours. Our bodies are not ours. Our future is in your hands. The Lord is making me ready to die--completely--I don't deserve to live--so come Spirit of the holy God--live instead of me. there is no joy left in life but to realize I am nothing and let God be what he is--all."

where things are clear... interesting that sometimes we don't see clearly what our life is meant to be until we're seeing it from the perspective of "our present sufferings are not worth being compared to the glory that will be revealed..." taking joy in our sufferings is seeing it through God's eyes...
I love Keith Green. Even though I never met him and wasn't even born when he was starting his ministry, I feel as though he's my big brother. I grew up with him. I listened to his music from when I was a little child. Now I'm nearing 30, and I still regard his music higher than just about any.
I think he was really "on to something". God was working mightily in him. He was moved by the Spirit. I feel something from him was passed to me... through the ministry of his music. I just bought his book "no compromise" and am going to give it a read. I'll highly consider these things. I've always thought that Keith Green was a "modern day King David". He seemed to have the same heart and way of expressing himself... and had a heart after God's own heart, as David did.
This is what I long to have as well. God is good.
