For the last three weeks I've been sick. Although I am still sick, I am finally able to sing again and those weeks of not being able to use my voice for musical purposes, it really made me treasure it so much more and it gives me a greater determination of really using it for a good purpose, for praising God, glorifying Him, showing His love to others, and sharing the testimony that He has given me. And of course this concept applies to the specific gift that God has granted to each one of us as different parts of the body of Christ, to come together, and glorify and honor Him in so many ways that come together to resonate with each other and create something beautiful and miraculous.
Lately, God's been teaching me gratitude. Really thanking God as I remember the many precious memories of the past and notice all the things that He is doing around me and in me. And with this gratitude, being able to approach the future with hope and confidence.
One of the things I am most grateful for in my life is my salvation and my transformation. And with a constant yearning for God to help me write a second song regarding this thankfulness for Him, God answered my prayers and gave me it yesterday. Once again, I have a recording of the song. The vocals aren't perfect and there is no instrumental since I don't know how to write music, but I hope you enjoy the lyrics and that God will use it to encourage you in some special way.
The melody and lyrics both just came to me after asking God for it. All glory and praise to God forever and ever. Amen.
Lyrics:
The life I was living was crushing me
The lust and the lies, the shame and the guilt.
Everywhere I look there is no security
The people change, the seasons change,
and everything seems to fade away...
Then the Light called to me,
He had something to give to me.
Your love it pulls me to You,
Your love it binds me to You,
You're all I want,
You're all I need.
Your love it brings me purpose,
Your love it lets me love,
It sets me free,
it sets me free.
I always wondered what my meaning was,
The empty promises and empty routines.
But as I started to look deeper into my heart.
I see the selfishness reigns.
I realized the love I wanted to give was never there.
But then You came to me and said,
"you shall live through Me."
Your love it pulls me to You,
Your love it binds me to You,
You're all I want,
You're all I need.
Your love it brings me purpose,
Your love it lets me love,
It sets me free,
it sets me free.
You're everlasting
You give me new life
You take away the weight
that tried to steal me away
You're in control,
I give my life to You,
Joy and peace You bring
A blessing to others You make me
Thank You Jesus, Thank You Jesus
Thank You Jesus, for giving me life
Your love it pulls me to You,
Your love it binds me to You,
You're all I want,
You're all I need.
Your love it brings me purpose,
Your love it lets me love,
It sets me free,
it sets me free.
It sets me free.
