Dear Friend, Take Care of You


You know who you are. I mean that in two ways - you know that I am addressing you right now, and no one else in the world, though they are invited to read this. And you know who YOU are - you know you are the daughter of a king, you know you are precious. Please continue to live with the weight of this knowledge guiding your steps . . .

This song is my prayer for us, no matter what. See you soon.

You thought of us before the world began to breathe
You knew our names before we came to be
You saw the very day we fall away from you
and how desperately we need to be redeemed

lord jesus
come lead us
we're desperate for your touch

Oh great and mighty one
with one desire we come
that you would reign that you would reign in us
we're offering up our lives
a living sacrifice
that you would reign that you would reign in us

Spirit of the living God fall fresh again
come search our hearts and puify our lives
we need your perfect love we need your discipline
we're lost unless you guide us with your light

lord jesus
come lead us
we're desperate for your touch

Oh great and mighty one
with one desire we come
that you would reign that you would reign in us
we're offering up our lives
a living sacrifice
that you would reign that you would reign in us

we cry out for your life to revive us cry out
for your love to define us cry out
for your mercy to keep us
blameless until you return

oh great and mighty one
with one desire we come
that you would reign that you would reign in us
we're offering up our lives
a living sacrifice
that you would reign that you would reign in us



So reign please reign in us
come purify our hearts
we need your touch
come cleanse us like a flood
and set us out
so the world may know you reign you reign in us

  1. Thanks for letting the rest of us in on this. What a great song!! A living sacrifice -- such a compelling paradox of the pain of dying to ourselves mingled with the life that comes from obedience.
