I was assigned to be the pianist for this coming Sunday in Sunday School and so the song leader chose a few Chinese songs. One of them is "I Live to Worship". And well, since it was holiday so I casually went to hear it on YouTube. The lyrics were simple, yet it made me cry. It made me think of His love for me. It made me realize how small i am.
Open up my eyes, let me see Your face
Your glory that captivate my heart
Who am i to see Your face?
Yes Lord, open up my eyes, to help me see what i have and not be greedy of what i don't.
It is not just Your glory that captivated my heart, but its Your unfailing love, Your sufficient grace, Your endless mercies, Your blessings during our dead ends.
Open up my ears, let me hear Your voice
Every word You speak You draw me near
Open up my ears, to listen to You. Help me not to keep asking and begging, but just listen with a humble heart, to respond to Your unconditional love, to follow Your words and not lean on my own understanding.
Help me to listen to You as you speak to me, that i'll truly obey You and not be led astray or give in to temptations, to be drawn nearer to You and not to Satan's whisper.
I live to worship You
I live to fall in love with You
Please remind me that I live not just to worship You, but to serve You and to Love You.
I want to fall in love with You, but sometimes, i just don't love You enough.
I want to love You with all my heart but, sometimes, i just keep some of it for someone or something else.
Bowing in the presence of Your beauty, Lord
There's none like You
None like You, who would give His son as an atonement for our sins.
I live to worship You
I live to fall in love with You
Do i really love You?
But who am i to love You?
And the love you gave me, it is too great that i couldn't fathom.
Why, do You love me so much?
I'm a sinner.
But You.
You are Holy. Almighty. Perfect.
Dwelling in Your arms of love
Who was and is and is to come
I want to love You forever Lord.
Help me to obey You, to be submissive to You, that I could show my love to You through my love for the people.
I love You
I do. But sometimes, just sometimes, I feel that I'm just not worthy of Your love.
I just don't deserve You.
Sometimes, we take His love for granted, we take the blood of Christ for granted, we take everything we have for granted.
We take his forgiveness for granted.
How many times have we said to ourselves, "Okay, if he does this to me the third time, that's it!"
What about Him? Our Father in Heaven.
He just never stops being patient with us, always tolerating us, forgiving us......
And sometimes I just wonder how big God is, cause his heart is already so massive that He could stand our ridiculous complaints, our endless requirements, our forever "I will repent and not do it again.".
However, He never stopped loving us.
