I am so ruined by this!

ex sola gratia / on grace alone

I want to be the good soil
That Your Word falls into
I want to be the good soil
Bearing 30, 60, 100 times more fruit

If I choose to die
Then I find real life
Cause I’m crucified
With the living Christ

Let my manner of living be a witness that You're alive
In my life would You have the Glory

The only way I look like you in the living is to choose the dying, I choose the dying

If the fruit’s gonna come from my life
Then I know that its gonna come when I die to myself

Now I lay me down to sleep
Now its time to die to me

My mind was made to think about you
My eyes were made to gaze upon you
My heart was made to love and adore you
My mouth was made to give you the glory

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise

Psalm 51:17

Holy, Holy, Holy are You. Mercy art thou to my heart.

you are the rock unmovable!
you are the anchor for my soul!


We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

Hebrews 6:19-20

I can't hold onto "a prayer" .. but I can hold onto the Man to whom I'm talking to. 

Beautiful is He that wants to knock on my door

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me." Rev. 3:20

Reinhold Niebuhr

God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.
