Purposeful Reminder

Ever have a Sunday morning where you're not sure you should sing along to the lyrics? I had one today. It was phenomenal. The song isn't new. I've sung it a hundred times, but today it was as though I could hear God saying, "Are you sure you really mean that, Lacie?" Once you'll read it, you'll see what I mean.

Father let me dedicate all this life to Thee

In whatever worldly state Thou would have me be

Not from sorrow, pain or care, freedom dare I claim

This alone shall be my prayer, glorify Thy name

Can a child presume to choose where or how to live?

Can a father's love refuse all the best to give?

Let my glad heart, while it sings, Thee in all proclaim

And, whatever the future brings, glorify Thy name

Be glorified in me, Be glorified in me

Be glorified

I would love to pretend that this is the summation of my prayers. Usually though, they're a little whinier. Mostly about me and very little about those I love...or dislike. I love it when the words of a song hit you square in the face and make you deal in truths. This one did that for me today. Excellent reminder of why i exist on this earth. For HIS glory. In whatever state He would have me be.
