The Cry of My Heart...

Hello.

So while I was at church at home over Fall break and then again at Cru last night, we sang the song "From The Inside Out" by Hillsong United. That is definitely one of my top 5 favorite Jesus songs...EVER. I get so excited every time they start singing it.

My heart and my soul, I give You control

Consume me from the inside out Lord

To love You from the inside out

Let justice and praise, become my embrace.

This verse gets me every time. It reminds me how hard it is to give God control of every aspect of my life; heart, soul, mind...

But every time I hear this verse a peace comes over me...it's hard to explain, but I love it and I feel like when I sing this verse God knows how much I love him even though, as a human, I am a complete failure at showing him.

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades

Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame

From the inside out, O my soul cries out

And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise

This verse makes me get a tear in my eye every time. God's power and glory will go on forever when there is nothing left.

The 2nd 1/2 reminds me that there is a "God sized" hole in my heart. I know I need something, and so I try and fill it in with earthly things. All this time my heart has just been calling out to God and it knows that He is the only One who can fill that space perfectly and make all things right within me.
