| | I have not written an entry in about a year... busy with many other things, my xanga basically expired, no faithful readers....
But as I was practicing for worship team tomorrow, I listened and practiced a song so beautiful and simple that it was worthy of a xanga post. :)
My heart has been lonely of late... with few friends, and with family fairly far away--a family I love, but a family that still aches with its own problems at home. My heart can become uneasy with uncertainties about the future--with plans, with hopes, and yet without a clear path as to how the Lord will fulfill such plans and His faithfulness in my life. I have no idea where I will eventually end up living, where I eventually will be teaching, if and when I will find that "perfect mate" and be able to marry as I desire and as my friends are--the Lord knows I have some time. And I go to bed with a sigh awaiting a new day which often seems tedious but is still part of the Lord's perfect and blessed plan for my life.
The simple and well-familiar song "Give Me Jesus" helped put things in perspective and once again remind me of the richness of simply knowing Christ--truly, truly our all, our treasure. The lyrics fit perfectly, the violin/ piano rendition by Fernando Ortega soothed my heart with its soft harmonies, and as I toyed with melodies and harmonies on my flute, I spoke forth my own heart. The words say best what bleeds in my inner heart:
In the morning when I rise
In the morning when I rise
In the morning when I rise
Give me Jesus.
Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus,
You can have all this world,
But give me Jesus.
And when I am alone,
And when I am alone,
And when I am alone,
Give me Jesus.
Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus,
You can have all this world,
But give me Jesus.
And when I come to die,
And when I come to die,
And when I come to die,
Give me Jesus.
Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus,
You can have all this world,
But give me Jesus.
