One day while we sat in church, our youngest of the 7, cuddled in my arms. I watched the worship leaders sing on the stage, and I quietly told God how I longed to sing a song to Him in true worship from my heart. I expressed how I longed to lead others in heartfelt worship. I longed to sing like them on the stage, with a beautiful voice and melody offering their gift to God in such a beautiful way.. I can carry a tune, but it's not a voice fit for the stage. God gently spoke to me, "You want a momentary song, but I am making your life a song." I stopped talking, but in my heart I said, "OH! I like that plan better!"
Then, we found out that our fostered children would be returning home. Our hearts were broken. The song, "Help me find it" became my prayer.
Chris told me to start looking for a sibling group, and I did! It was at this time that a new song became my prayer: "Let Them See You."
Each time I hear this song, my heart sings it with all I've got. " Take away the melody...Let them see you in me. Let them hear you when I speak. Let them feel you when I sing. Let them see you in me...I give my life an offering. Take it all. Take everything. Let them see you in me...With every breath I breath, I sing a simple melody, but I pray they'll hear more than an song. Let them see you in me.
Lord, YOU are the song I'm singing. May my life be the song you intended for it to be. May it be pleasing to you. Take it all. Take everything. This life, this song, is yours and yours alone.
