Here's My Heart, Lord

This weekend I had the opportunity to travel "home" to chaperone a Disciple NOW youth retreat at my church, and also get the chance to lead worship through music with the band. It never fails that a message meant for middle/high schoolers hits home with me more than anything. I always go in expecting to teach, but come out learning more than I thought was possible. This weekend we reflected on what it meant to Pause and rest in Christ. That rest is not mindless activities in front of our many screens, but that true REST was an active participation in a real and growing relationship with Christ, cultivated by persistence and consistence in prayer, reading and applying Scripture, and being in community and outreach with other believers.

I feel myself breaking. I'm weak. But I boast in my weakness because I know that in my weakness HE IS stronger. I am humbled and unworthy. I need God's never-ending grace.

This song was our anthem.

Here's My Heart Lord - David Crowder, Passion 2013

Here's my heart, Lord.
Here's my heart, Lord.
Here's my heart, Lord.
Speak what is true.

'Cause I am found. I am Yours.
I am loved. I'm made pure.
I have life. I can breathe.
I am healed. I am free.

Here's my heart, Lord.
Here's my heart, Lord.
Here's my heart, Lord.
Speak what is true.

'Cause You are strong. You are sure.
You are life. You endure.
You are good, always true.
You are light breaking through.

Here's my heart, Lord.
Here's my heart, Lord.
Here's my heart, Lord.
Speak what is true.

You are more than enough.
You are here. You are love.
You are hope. You are grace.
You're all I have. You're everything.

Here's my heart, Lord.
Here's my heart, Lord.
Here's my heart, Lord.
Speak what is true.
Speak what is true.
Speak what is true.
