here's my life


This is my first post for a reason. A particular song has been engrained in my mind... God has used it in my life so many times before, but for some reason this last week, He has been using it to help me focus. It's called "Here's My Life" by BarlowGirl. I cry everytime I listen to it because it brings to mind the plans God has for me. Wherever He leads me, I will go. This song makes me think about the day that I will board a plane with a one-way ticket, and put all my energy into glorifying Him in obedience to the call upon my life. Surrender is hard, but Jesus is worth it all...no matter how hard it may be. Let the lyrics penetrate your heart...

Once again I said my goodbyes
to those I love most
My heart feels that familiar pain
as I long for home
Cause this road is hard
when I feel so far

And God I'm crying out tonight
cause I've given you my life
But I'm tired and I'm missing whats behind
So once more here's my life

On the day that you called my name
all that I knew changed
I found when I said yes that I
would never be the same
Though the call is hard
You are worth it all

Even when the tears are falling
when I find I fear the calling
You remind me
Words You've spoken over my life
Promises I've yet to see
You comfort me

And God I'm crying out tonight
cause I've given you my life
But I'm tired and I'm missing whats behind
So once more here's my life
