Here I Am

This journey to New Jersey has been a "growing in Him" experience for us. And you know with growing, there are growing pains! A few months ago, I was at the altar at our church in Georgia- amy prayer was "Lord, I want every blessing that you have for me."

Now, the world's idea of blessing and His idea of blessing can be very different!

I was saying to the Lord, I want You to work in me- I want Your ways, Your plans fulfilled, Your purpose for me executed!!! His ways are always higher than our ways! Isaiah 55:9. I said, "Here I am Lord, send me". Now He is sending!

You may have heard this song on Christian radio recently. The words have spoken to my heart and spirit. I pray you enjoy these words and that they minister to you in some way.

HERE I AM

Sometimes Your calling, comes in a dream

Sometimes it comes in the Spirit's breeze,

You reach for the deepest part of me,

And call out for the things of eternity.

But I'm a man, of dust and stains,

You move in me, so I can say,

CHORUS:

Here I am, Lord send me,

All of my life, I make an offering,

Here I am, Lord send me,

Somehow my story, Is part of Your plan,

Here I am

When setbacks and failures, and upset plans,

Test my faith and leave me with empty hands,

Are You not the closest when it's hardest to stand?

I know that You will finish what you began.

These broken parts You redeem,

Become the song, that I can sing

(chorus)

Overwhelmed by the thought of my weakness,

And the fear that I'll fail You in the end,

In this mess, I'm just one of the pieces,

I can't put this together but You can.

Here I Am, all my life an offering to You,

Somehow my story is a part of Your plan

Here I am
