Let me sing....

We sang this song by Todd Fields called "Let me Sing" in church on Sunday and all  my walls crumbled as I spoke the words as worship.  At first I was struck by the idea of shining brighter than the stars in the sky...wow. How beautiful that sight must be all glittery and sparkling all for God's glory. And then I was struck by the idea of proclaiming him through the course of my boring every day life...in every moment,....Yes, EVERY moment. Even the smallest most insignificant things can be done to proclaim him...Boy do I have a long way to go in this area. I get caught up with the best of them thinking that He only desires the "really big important" stuff and forget he's also concerned with the small stuff... Whether it's bending over to help a student, grading papers, smiling at a kid, writing lesson plans, cooking myself a healthy dinner, excercising, taking a long walk at night....yes, EVERY action can proclaim Him....and he desires it.
(I have been trying to post a youtube clip but it's not letting me do it and I'm honestly too tired to figure it out right now so you'll have to hop on over to youtube yourself and check it out. Hopefully you'll go to Itunes and snag a copy of the song for $.99 like I did after Sunday. )

                                              Let me sing for the mercy you've given

undeserving and broken am I

Though I've turned away

your faithfulness remains

Let me live in the light of forever

as I walk through the course of my days

and join to proclaim with all of the saints

 the only worthy name

Let me sing

louder than creation to you

for the pain you bore in your body

to bring my soul to you

Let me shine

brighter than the stars in the sky

an offering of praise all my life

to you my Holy King

let me sing
