Overwhelmed

This week has been a bit overwhelming personally.  I feel burdened for many people I know going through rough spots or having to make hard decisions.  It really sends the message home for Steven and I about how little control we really have over life and how even what may seem like small decisions can  have a huge impact.  Sometimes, we think we have a plan, but then God opens a new door and all of sudden those plans go out the window.  We got the new Kutless worship CD last week and I listen to it almost everyday in the car.   The last two songs I play over and over.  I put the lyrics below for "I'm Still Yours", I hardly get past the second chorus without crying.  And if I do, the victory chant "I'm still Yours" at the end gets me everytime.  A daily reminder that no matter what happens, we still belong to Him.  My prayer - that my hands would stay lifted.

I'm Still Yours lyrics

If You washed away my vanity
If You took away my words
If all my world was swept away
Would You be enough for me?
Would my beating heart still sing?

If I lost it all
Would my hands stay lifted
To the God who gives and takes away

If You take it all
This life You've given
Still my heart will sing to You

When my life is not what I expected
The plans I made have failed
When there's nothing left to steal me away
Will You be enough for me?
Will my broken heart still sing?

If I lost it all
Would my hands stay lifted
To the God who gives
And takes away

If You take it all
This life You've given
Still my heart
Will sing to You

Even if You take it all away
You’ll never let me go
Take it all away
But I still know

That I'm Yours
I'm still Yours

Oh, I'm Yours
I'm still Yours
I'm still Yours
