how you love me

feeling tired/oddly bummed out from long day of driving down from norcal,

Lord you found me.

i was sad that i missed church today.

but Lord, you still met me.

God, thank you for andy and the radical ways you speak to me through others

as i eat and listen

thank you Lord for mom's heart and her cooking

and this beautiful song

Wonderful Savior
My heart belongs to Thee
I will remember always the blood You shed for me
Wonderful Savior
My heart will know Your worth
So I will embrace You always as I walk this earth

Be blessed, be loved, be lifted high
Be treasured here
Be glorified
I owe my life to You my Lord
Here I am....

Beautiful Jesus
How may I bless Your heart?
Knees to the earth I bow down to everything You are
Beautiful Jesus
You are my only worth
So let me embrace You always as I walk this earth

oh Lord you've searched me

test me and know my anxious thoughts

see if there is anything in me that offends you

and lead me along the path of everlasting life

-psalm 139:23

God, my heart's an open book

purify my heart

from old self

convict me of anything that is not of you

any thoughts that keep me from seeking you

as Jesus, my only passion.

renew me once again

you dance over me

Lord help me to realize my value as your favorite son

you dance over me
while i am unaware
you sing all around
but i never hear the sound

sing over me Jesus,

sing your song of healing over me

Lord i'm satisfied with nothing less
than to feel the closeness of your breath

how wide
how deep
how great
is your love for me

Oh God,
how you love me

renewal

therefore if anyone belongs Christ, he is a new creation; the old life has gone, the new life has come!

-2 corinthians 5:17

Lord renew me daily.

renew my love for you, my passion to live for you alone.

take away my old self

my old life, my old thoughts

my past sins and burdens

and nail them on the cross

take me to cross Lord,

and make me a new creation.

help me to live IN you,

although i may live in this world, Jesus

help me not to live as someone of this world,

consumed with the thoughts of other people,

always trying to please others,

but as someone

who puts their hope, and trust, identity

in You, the living God.

so i set my sights on you alone God.

i worship you Lord

Jesus, help me to realize my identity

as your royalty,

your prince, your favorite son,

your beloved creation,

and that you created me to be blessed,

and for me to bless you

so bless me oh God,

with your joy

your peace

your wisdom to do well in school

Lord I know you only give me the best

oh God i feel so blessed

thank you Jesus

You love me so much

peace

after Jesus died on the cross, He left us with 2 things:

His Holy Spirit.

His peace.

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

-john 14:27

Lord, thank you for this peace

a peace that transcends all understanding

as the things of the world grow strangely dim

i am left with nothing

but your

peace

draw near Holy Spirit

and overcome the worries of this world

as i claim my worth

as your prince

bless me as your favorite son

shower your blessings over me

oh God, don't hold back

your love and what you have in store

you know the very desires of my heart

you only want the best for me

i receive it

i recieve You

come Holy Spirit

come

comfort

Lord, you are a God of comfort

Praise to God, the Father of compassion, the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the suffering of Christ flow into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. 

If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation...this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God. On Him we have set our hope that He will continue to deliver us.

2 corinthians 1:3-11

i love you Jesus, i will praise you always. thank you for the comfort of your loving arms

faith

Jesus, you give faith to the faithless

whether its to those who don't know you oh God

or more importantly,

me.

Jesus i put my hope in you

not the hope i can find in this world

but the hope in the Lord of the universe,

author and perfector of my life

and my future

i put my trust in you,

even when my grades are crap

i know you are still faithful

and i put my hope in you alone

God i know i just want to surrender completely to you

to do your will alone

and that my thoughts, my desires, my will should not get in the way

but Lord,

it seems like i'm always consumed with my failures.

God i don't want to live life as a slave

burdened to do your will

and not find joy in it

to find no value in myself

as a failure to your perfect standards

of doing your perfect and pleasing will

but Lord,

you have crafted me

from the very beginning of time

Lord you have created me as a perfect creation

and i shall not live life

consumed with trying to please you

but rather

to live life enjoying your love

to find joy in doin your will

and enjoying the ways 

to bless 

your

name

still

i will be still and know you God.

but its so hard.

Jesus, i want to hear your voice

God, i'm so desparate

there's too much going on in my head

its overwhelming.

clear all the noise in my head

my own thoughts

my selfish thoughts

my own desires

to succeed

to please others

thoughts of other people

thoughts of this world

too many sounds

too many voices

in this world

try to capture the devotion of my heart

but no God

my heart belongs to YOU alone

silence the noise

that keeps me from hearing your voice

your soft, gentle voice

your soothing voice

that brings peace

peace beyond all understanding

Jesus,

come calm the storm in me

at the top of my lungs

oh God, you are so worthy

i will not let my emotions

the things of this world

keep me from praising you oh God

no God. i will not waste one second of my life

from falling short of anything other than

giving you ALL of my praise

rejoice in the Lord always. i will say it again, rejoice!

phillipains 4:3-5

~~~

words of worship

rise like a river within me

thoughts to express are too many

i want to bless you God

i can't be silent

i think of the mercies you show me

my lips begin overflowing

great is your love

such gratitude

for all that you do

JESUS to you

at the top of my lungs i will sing hallelujah

your the one who saved me

the one who gave me

this life i live

forever more

forever more

at the top of my lungs i will sing hallelujah

i'm not ashamed i'll praise your name

let the whole world know

I LOVE YOU LORD

you are worthy

i join the song of creation 

that rings out across every nation

let my heart be heard

i need you so

i don't care who knows

from the depths of my soul

i love you now

sweet joyful noise

only for you

i lift up my voice

-craig & dean phillips

press in

4 midterms mean nothing to you Jesus

for you are God of the universe

and of wisdom

give me wisdom and knowledge oh Lord

Jesus, during this season i will not settle for mediocrity

mediocrity in my team

mediocrity in my study

mediocrity in my freshmen community

mediocrity in my ministry

mediocrity in my relationship with you

so at the top of my lungs

i will sing hallelujah

i will declare your goodness

i will sing praise to you

i will press in to your love

i call you faithful

your name is faithful

you are so faithful to me

prince

be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.   
1 thessalonians 5:16-18

i am a prince in God's kingdom.

as His prince i have to do only 3 things:

1) be joyful always

2) pray nonstop

3) praise God

what a good life.

its good to be His prince.

Jesus, my heart is yours

come be the flame upon my heart

Jesus set me on fire for you

here i am, at Your feet, in my brokenness complete

wo ai ni ye su
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Father, i'm amazed every time i think about You,
consumed by my own worldly addictions,
my prideful ambitions and greed,
i expected rejection,
but secretly, secretly you hold me for mercy.

and while i was off living my own life,
in my own selfish ways,
You saw me,
and You ran to me.
You ran to me.
and i began to speak,
Father, i have been unfaithful,
and i am no longer worthy to be called your son.

but You replied,

Welcome Home Son.
I have been Waiting for you.

I am Faithful.
and I will always be, your Faithful Father.

Jesus, here I am,
your favorite one,
I'm after your heart.
