Awakening of Me

Come meet us, King Jesus, oh wind of change blow through this temple. Sweet Spirit of God, come and mend our hearts, for all we have are songs unless you come.

Awaken what is inside of me to my heart to all you are in me even though you are here, God come. May the vision of you be the death of me and even though you have given everything, Jesus come!

Come free us, King Jesus, it's the only way that freedom's given. For you and you alone, in the work you have already done, for all we have are songs unless you come.

Awaken what is inside of me to my heart to all you are in me even though you are here, God come. May the vision of you be the death of me and even though you have given everything, Jesus come, oh Jesus Come!

Here we are, in this place. Crying out for your embrace. To hear your voice, more than songs. Oh please come, Jesus come!

Awaken what is inside of me to my heart to all you are in me even though you are here, God come. May the vision of you be the death of me and even though you have given everything, Jesus come! Awaken what is inside of me to my heart to all you are in me even though you are here, God come. May the vision of you be the death of me and even though you have given everything, Jesus come! May my heart awake. Jesus come.

Powerful words in a song called "Vision of You" by Shane and Shane that have impacted me along with the reading of a book by Mike Breen called The Passionate Church. Although I should by working on my dissertation, I believe God had plans to work on me today instead...

Somehow I cannot help that this is what seminary training should be all about, a renewed sense of passion and purpose for the work God has called me to. In studying for a paper, God wants to expand my love for him and remind me why I am grinding out my dissertation like a golfer struggling to make it into the clubhouse (golf would be good right about now)!
