Giving Your All

You are - Tenth Avenue North Lord of empty space
You breathe and then create
Before the earth was made
You are
The King of every age
Outside of time and space
The heavens speak Your name
You are
You areLord of brilliant light

You separate the night
And everything inside
You are
The One who calms the seas
And every part of me
With just a word You speak
You are
You are.

I give You all of me for all You are
Here I am
Take me apart
Take me apart
I give You all of me for all You are
Here I am
Take me apart
Take me apart

Angels bowing down
Beneath the rushing sound
A voice that thunders out
You are
The one who holds the stars
And the beating of my heart
Exalted above all
You are
You are
I give You all of me for all You are
Here I am
Take me apart
Take me apart
I give You all of me for all You are
Here I am
Take me apart
Take me apart
All I am I want to lay down at Your feet 3x
I give You all of me for all You are
Here I am
Take me apart
Take me apart
I give You all of me for all You are
Here I am
Take me apart
Take me apart 
So, how many of you are going to truly give God all of who you are? How many of you are going to give God everything that you do? How many of you would drop whatever you had to follow God? How many of you will truly let God take you apart?   No really, how many of you will truly let God take you apart? And I know many of you would just jump to say "Yeah. God really take me apart. I want you to take out everything that is not of you. Take me apart. I am giving you Lord all of me". Now really look back at the words. Are you really giving God all of you? Are you?  Now let me ask you this: Are you doing anything with what you are giving to God? If you ask God to take you apart are you doing anything with what he takes away? If God tells you that you need to fix this part of your life, or you need to get rid of this portion of your life, or you need to let this person go, or even you need to stop hanging around this person what would you do?   First instinct is to say: "Oh I would do what God tells me to do." But really how many of you do? Don't we normally sit there and tell ourselves that we actually need what we are holding on to? Don't we normally justify ourselves for whatever that God said needed fixing so that we can just go on with our lives? Now yes there are times when God has told you to do something and you do it right then and there, but really how often do you do that?   Don't you doubt yourself? Fight if that is the right answer? You really put more effort into saying that you should keep it, than give it away. Yeah it is hard to give up things, and yeah we have all been there. But what is the point of holding on to these things if God tells us to let go.    Go back to the beginning of the song now. Read the words, and listen to the song. It talks about how God is the one who created everything and just gives us an image of how powerful God is. So why fight God who created everything. Created time and space and holds the stars. I personally don't think that is someone that we should decide to tell no to.  So instead of making up excuses for holding on to the things that God has told you to let go, let those things go. Lay your life down at God's feet. Give God you all and really let God take you apart. And then act on what God did in your life and capitalize on it. Don't look back, and only look to the future God has in store for you.  -KeymasterPL
