I don't listen to the radio much. Usually when we are in the car we are talking together. Today Michala and I were out. We had taken Marlee Anne out to Mike's office. On the way home I turned on the radio and this song came on. I had never heard it before. Here are the lyrics of the chorus that really hit home with me. I get so caught up in what I want. How I think things should be. It reminded me to get ME out of the way and let HIM fill me. What a wonderful peace that brings. Thank you Lord!
Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me so I can be filled with you.
Cause everything is a lesser thing Compared to you,
compared to you. Cause everything is a lesser thing
Compared to you. So, I surrender all!
Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me so I can be
Lord empty me of me so I can be filled with you.
Oh, filled with you. Empty me.
