Living Sacrifice

So I had a longer post planned, but it's taking a backseat to homework for now. So in lieu of that, we were singing worship at a student-led service on campus tonight called "Timeout," and I feel like I should share this song because it is exceptionally close to my heart. 


...
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

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

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
...



Lord you know my failings and my strengths; you know exactly the plan you have for my life. Let me follow what /YOUR/ will is, not what I might think your will might be. Give me clarity and peace. Remind me to be still to hear from you.
