I normally don't blog on a sunday but this is something special! I heard this song today by the lady who sang the special ( you know before the pastor gets up to speak ) and the song she sang was beautiful! It really spoke to me! It's called "Empty Me" by Chris Sligh. I've heard it before on the radio but it wasn't until today that the words of the song just kinda clicked and I understood! It's what I want my God to do of me... empty me of everything that is in the way of serving Him and living for Him! Because it's not about me or about the world or any other person! It's about HIM!! I am going to post the lyrics below and then post a special video so that you can hear the song! This song is going to be my prayer for the week! LORD, empty me of me so that I can be filled with YOU!!!
Here are the lyrics they are also on the video too...

-EMPTY ME -
I've had just enough of the spotlight

when it burns bright

to see how it gets in the blood,

and I've tasted my share of the sweet life

and the wild ride,

and found a little is not quite enough.

I know how I can stray

and how fast my heart could change.

Empty me

of the selfishness inside

every vain ambition and the poison of my pride

and any foolish thing my heart holds to.

Lord empty me of me

so I can be

filled with You.

I've seen just enough of the quick buys

of the best lies

to know how prodigals could be drawn away.

I know how I can stray

and how fast my heart could change

Empty me

of the selfishness inside,

every vain ambition the poison of my pride,

and any foolish thing my heart holds to.

Lord empty me of me

so I can be

filled with You.

'Cause everything is a lesser thing

compared to you, compared to you

'Cause everything is a lesser thing

compared to you so I surrender all.

Empty me

of the selfishness inside

every vain ambition and the poison of my pride.

Empty me

of the selfishness inside

every vain ambition and the poison of my pride

and any foolish thing my heart holds to.

Lord empty me of me

so I can be

Lord empty me of me

so I can be

filled with You

filled with You

Empty me
