What a privilege to
identify You, God, as Father.
What a high standard
to be Your daughter.
I’m thankful for the
process where You examine my soul and take inventory.
I count it an honor
to carry Your glory.
You show me that You
love me, but You show me what to change.
You show me Your
crimson grace, but You’re holy standard remains.
The big and the great
You're doing in me is greater than any great I ever thought I’d see.
And, here’s the
thing, it can’t be done, it can’t be achieved through me.
So, You have it. I
give You everything.
And, then, if You ask
for more, this too I will bring.
How can I know God
and stay the same?
How can I encounter
my Maker and not encounter His flame?
This flame is
scorching, burning up my will.
This flame is
consuming, His words from my lips they spill.
How can I converse
with God and not lay down my life?
How can I kiss the
divine and not let it cut out my weakness with a Craftsman’s knife?
How can I be in
covenant with God and not follow His voice?
How can I be a
citizen of His kingdom and not make a solid, uncompromising choice?
How can I experience
Heaven and leave thorns on the vine?
How can I ever
decrease me and increase Him with a heart stained with pride?
Do I dare say, “no”
to the request of the King?
How can I stand
before Him without a gift to bring?
To polish the gem, it
must go for a tumble.
Spinning and
flipping, crashing free of the ridges born for a stumble.
To make the stone
shine, it must transform under a blaze.
He’ll put the heat on
me until the world can see the glaze.
He’s breathing on me
to get rid of the world's smell.
He’s wrapping His
arms tight, squeezing out the disbelief of Hell.
Tumble, tumble,
collide, burn.
I lay down my life
and will as I learn.
So, I tumble, tumble
holding on to You.
I tumble, tumble
while You make me new.
I kneel, I praise
under Your holy fire.
I submit myself to
You so Your call I can acquire.
The great in me can
only be found in You.
So, I’m running, I’m
leaping and climbing after Truth.
My, My. How enormous
the plan You hold for me!
My God, I’ll give my
all to do all You’ve told to me.
Doing big can’t be
done by being small.
God dreams can only
be accomplished by letting God be ALL.
