On My Heart

This song, these words, connect with my heart so much. It's a wonderful song but it is so much more than that. It's what my heart cries out; what my heart sings. I tried to bold the parts that stick out to me but I couldn't. I would have bolded every, single word. So I did.

It's encouraging as I begin my search for colleges, what I will study, what I will do. My future. I'm in search of my future. God knows. He holds my future in His hands and all of me I give to Him.

Use me for You. Reveal Your plan. But in Your perfect timing. I lay me down. Because all I want is more of You. However that looks.

I speak all those words to God in complete surrender and heart abandoned. It's hard because I want to know. But easy because I know His plan is perfect. Even when I don't know what that looks like.

//Invading all my weakness
You wrapped me up in grace
The worst of me succeeded by the best of You

My heart is overtaken
My soul is overwhelmed
The worst of me succeeded by the best of You

My dreams have found their purpose
My future in Your hands
This life would have no meaning if it weren't for You

So I lay me down
For Kingdom come
Steal all that is within me
Cause all I want in this world is more of You

And the less of me it is You
Increasing as I fade away
Your light for all the world to see
God It is You who breaks the chains
It is You who lights the way
And everything I am cries out for You

Lord make my life transparent
Your life in mine displayed
And let every earthly glory
Go back to You//
(You, Hillsong Live)
