my Strength & my Song

A thousand times I've failed
Still Your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
I'm caught in Your grace
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame

Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself
In bringing You praise
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame

In my heart and my soul
Lord I give You control
Consume me from the inside out
Lord let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out, Lord my soul cries out

Today I'm reminded once again, of the joy of being in the presence of God.

I'm very much like you people out there...sometimes I don't feel like doing my Quiet Time, or feel that I should do it "later", although we all know that the "later" would probably be pushed so far back, it would already be the next day, and then before we know it, the day after that comes, and the day after that...and the day after that. You all know what I mean...

So there I was spending time with the Lord this morning, and I'm thinking, "Being in the presence of the Lord is so good...how could I ever compromise my time with Him?"

How could I? Doing QT after all, isn't about me...it never was, and it never will be. And it really is an art of losing myself, dying to my "don't feel like doing"-ness...something I am constantly working towards.

The Lord is my strength and my song, and He has become my SALVATION.
Psalm 118:14
