Jeremiah 17:9
New International Version (©1984)
The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?
The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?
My heart is being very deceitful right now. I am forcing my brain to convince my heart of some things. It is not easy. The girl deep down inside of me is crying about it. The brave inside of me is thinking of the future and clinging to hope. Although the heart is deceitful my heart has always been tender. Although it's been tender it is has always been stubborn. However, once my heart loves it doesn't ever "unlove". It loves hard. Time is irrelevant when it comes to any sort of healing. I sure can't understand my heart. Much less anyone else's. Another thing I cannot grasp is the depth of the love that Jesus displayed on that cross. That love, that precious love gives me hope. That love assures me that I can try my very best to fully trust in the plans God has for my life. That love compels me to keep my focus on Jesus. I read Romans 8:28 earlier this week. It says, And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Tonight I will believe that. I believe in love. I believe in hope. Jesus is good. I have been called. Called to be a part of the most amazing story. A story of rescue. Rescue for a beautiful city and beautiful faces.
I am finding out that maybe I was wrong
That I've fallen down and I can't do this alone
Stay with me, this is what I need, please?
Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own but what would it be without you?
I am nothing now and it's been so long
Since I've heard the sound, the sound of my only hope
This time I will be listening.
Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own but what would it be without you?
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart is yours
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart is yours
That I've fallen down and I can't do this alone
Stay with me, this is what I need, please?
Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own but what would it be without you?
I am nothing now and it's been so long
Since I've heard the sound, the sound of my only hope
This time I will be listening.
Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own but what would it be without you?
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart is yours
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart is yours
