"Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, but and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare"
I was really struck with this simple command and how often I do not listen. I just started writing to the Lord and this is what came about. I seriously love so much when the Lord speaks to me in this way!
So plain and simple
"listen to me, and eat what is good,
and you will delight in the richest of fare"
God lays it out so clear, like crisp air.
Yet, I still chow down on garbage or
fully neglect to eat what's there.
"You are what you eat"
takes on a heavy meaning
we might look clean on the outside
but our insides our screaming.
God offers us the buffet of life
and we try to decieve Him.
But He knows our hearts, He sees every dark place
and He still took our sins on Himself, He took our place
Traded our dirty, torn clothes
No more, replaced
with an unending, surreal amount of amazing grace
How sweet the sound
of His comforting voice.
He gives us a way out; He offers a choice
"I know you're hungry", He says
"Here, take the bread of life.
"No money? Don't worry. I paid the price
Full. With my blood, on a wooden cross.
Death for you now, is not even a loss."
For it's when we lose our lives we gain them.
When we hold on too tight, there's no room to attain them.
The world shouts, "worthless, dirty, unforgiven."
Jesus says, "worthy, spotless and blameless."
When He said, "It's finished."
That means our past and shame.
He washed us clean in His blood
no longer to blame.
I'll give up money, status and fame
if it means the book in heaven has my name.
So change my heart, Lord
make it beat just for You.
Because sometimes my heart doesn't line up
how it needs to.
What I desire is for You to be my one and only.
You woo and pursue me and continue to show me
the love You pour out, so much I'd be drowning
if it weren't for You grace, let's talk about the crown
and nails and whips and spit and trips
All done for us? And still we slip...
into temptation, into sin
but it's crazy, when You're in us
we always win.
