AT YOUR FEET (Melissa Greene)

Let the world fade away

I need to be alone

Simply fall on my face

Here before Your throne

Father find me now, as I bow

At Your feet, I sing to who You are

At Your feet, I offer all my heart

At Your feet, it’s You that I adore

I worship You, my lord

The best of life for me is at Your feet

Lord, for all You have done

And how You set me free

Words of gratitude arise up

Right here on my knees

Praises overflow from my soul

Let the choir sing, Holy, Mighty, Worthy is the Lamb

And all the Redeemed, cry, Holy, Mighty, Worthy is the Lamb

At Your feet, I sing to who You are

At Your feet, I offer all my heart

At Your feet, it’s You that I adore

I worship You, my Lord and the best for me is at Your feet.

Good morning, Lord.  I offer all my heart to You, today.  When I sit down and write these thoughts, I want to abandon the what I “should” say, what I “could” say.  I want to clear my mind and concentrate on You as I spend this time with You.  On my knees, I empty out my heart to You.  I empty out my and others expectations of me.  All the thoughts of yesterday and tomorrow, I concentrate on this very second that You have given to me and I give it back to You.  I want to be the woman that took perfume and poured over Your feet telling You how grateful that You chose me to be in Your Kingdom.  I want to let the world fade away, I need to be alone with You, Lord Jesus.  You have been so good to me.  I worship You, I adore You.  You are the Rock where I can go when the waves are all around me.  You are the peace that floods my soul and says, “Settle down, I am going to take care of you”. 

These are the time that I am alone with You, Lord.  I can almost picture the peace that passes all understanding.  If I was a painter, I would paint a picture of a huge rock in the middle of a huge ocean.  I would stroke my pen and I would have huge waves, lots of motion surrounding me.  I would watch at a distance and see the wild, rocking waves as they crashed against the rock.  Then I would put me standing on that rock high, high above the waves, wind blowing my hair in a beautiful white gown flowing made up of  soft light linen.  I could almost feel the light spray that comes from those huge waves.  I feel peace as I know that those waves are there, but can’t get up high enough to make that huge rock move and tear me off that rock.  I can sense my heart as I look toward the One that steadies me and keeps me from falling.  I reach up to Him and say, “Daddy”.  I know that connection with Him is all I need to be safe and secure.  I’m almost oblivious of the storm.  In fact it has a certain amount of peace and excitement over the whole picture.  “Peace in the midst of the storm”. 

Thank You, Lord for all the wonderful birthday gifts that You gave me this weekend.  A day out with my immediate family and then another day with my extended family.  Thank You Lord that I am loved.  Please forgive me for concentrating on the things I don’t have.  I used to tell my earthly daddy, “Daddy, You have given me those things that can’t be bought”.   There is no way that I can measure the love and acceptance that I have from my family and friends.  I am so blessed, Lord.  I have You, I will live forever with You in heaven.  This flesh is moving toward completion and I know that.  I want to “live” until I die.  I want to live many more years and watch my family grow and become all that God has planned for them.  You are worthy, Lord Jesus.  I can see the Redeemed, crying out to the Lord.  I know where I came from, I never will forget that day when I reached up to You and You changed the whole course of my life.  I love You, Lord.  Today I am

A grateful, Redeemed Woman
