I’D NEED A SAVIOR (Among the Thirsty)               

How many names can I use to explain

The love of my Jesus

The life that He gave

And so many times

Well I praise you today

I lift up my life

Cause You’re always the same

In my offering, to You I bring

Your name is Jesus, Your name is Jesus

You’re the Wonderful, Counselor, My Friend

Your Word I hold onto

I know that You brought me through

All the days I’ve lost to the cross You knew

I ‘d need a Savior

How many songs can I sing to proclaim

Your wondrous love, and oh, beauty so great

Oh what would I say, if You brought down the rain

Oh if every day, I’d walk through the pain

My heart would still say

Lord I hold onto, I know that You brought me through

All the days I’ve lost to the Cross, You knew

I’d need a Savior.

I’d need a Savior

I need You.

Your name is Jesus, Your name is Jesus.  I could listen to this song over and over again.  It brings water and rain over my dry and thirsty soul.  “If you brought down the rain”.  You’re wonderful, my Friend.  Just to think that the God that created the whole world is my Friend.  It never ceases to amaze me, that You love me.  This little speck in this time frame on this earth, me.  I am the apple of Your eye.  You fight the ferocious lions and bears in my life, You defeat the giant that screams and taunts me.  I’d need a Savior.  How could I ever let You know my affection for You.  I know that You see my heart, You know I want to sit with You, wash Your feet with my hair.  Sincerely Lord, I love You.  Where could I go that You are not there?  What security that brings to my heart.  You have brought me through.

Sunday morning in church, I got this picture.  I could vision sheep with a dark cloud surrounding them.  They didn’t seem to be able to move freely because they were covered in darkness and they were motionless.  I could see the Shepherd as He set His gaze on them.  I could see those eyes turned straight toward these sheep.  The good news was that from His eyes came a bright light, kinda like a wide ray of light.  The ray was like a wide tunnel.  As that wide tunnel of light hit that dark cloud around the sheep, the darkness dissipated.  They began to be able to see, able to move about, the darkness was gone.  I have learned that light (white) is the presence of all colors and darkness (black) is the absence of any.  Light absorbs, consumes darkness.

Jesus, You are the presence of all colors in my life.  You are alive, vibrant, red, blue, yellow, & etc.  Your gaze is what I need to remove the darkness.  The enemy only has darkness to offer us.  He is the absence of all those beautiful colors in my life.  I choose You, Lord, I choose Life.  As I walk this earth, I choose to allow that spectrum of life to completely envelope me.   I pray today to allow that ray of light to remove the dark areas of my soul.  I desire to have a stain free bright dress to wear.  I allow You to “Shout” out the stains, to remove the darkness that surrounds me.  Today I am
