WITH ALL I AM (Crossroads)

Into Your hands, I commit again

With all I am

For You, Lord

You hold my world in the palm of Your hand

And I am Yours, forever

Jesus, I believe in You

Jesus, I belong to You

You’re the reason that I live

The reason that I sing with all I am

I’ll walk with You, wherever You go

Through tears and joys, I’ll trust in you

And I will live in all of Your ways and Your promises, forever

I will worship, I will worship You

I will worship, I will worship You

I will worship, I will worship You

Yes, I will, I will worship You.  Today is an exciting, intriguing, unknown, day.  This is my opportunity to throw my head back and worship, my Savior, Jesus Christ.  He is the reason that I live.  He gives me gladly every breath that I breathe.  He has a purpose, reason and season for all of my time of this earth.  Sometimes, I forget about His love and affection for me.  It’s in these early morning hours that I hear His sweet, gentle voice.  At the end of the day, I have heard so many other things that my connection with Him is sometimes broken and crowded out with life…..but….here in these early mornings, He is so close and I am so humbled.  Through tears and joy, I trust in Him.  I will live in all His ways and His promises forever.  Jesus, I believe in You, I belong to You, You’re the reason that I live, the reason that I sing. 

“He looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God” (Hebrews 11:10). Abraham could see the true significance of the land blessing and he realized, “This place isn’t the real possession. It’s just an illustrated sermon of the great blessing to come.” Abraham grasped the true meaning of the Promised Land; he knew Canaan represented the coming Messiah. Jesus himself tells us, “Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad” (John 8:56). (David Wilkerson) Jesus is the real possession.  I just finished a “real estate” deal that went south.  We were disappointed, the outcome was out of our control.  That piece of real estate wasn’t important when you consider that the city that has foundations (our Canaan) is Jesus.  He is the rock on which we live.  One day we will inherit our “forever” home….all the homes on this earthly piece of dirt will one day turn to just what it is, a piece of dirt.

Our true Home is described as a city where the streets are paved with gold.  Can you just imagine the appraised value of something like that?  A beautiful, wonderful “forever” home.  I know I am going there and the heart that Jesus has given me wants to take others with me.  My desire is to snatch others out of the grips of hell and show them the love of Jesus.  I want to get out of my “rocking chair” and be about my Father’s business.  I can’t continue to rock, Jesus needs me to be His hands, His feet, His voice, His heart on this earth.  He is preparing my “forever” home and one day we will all face our “eternal” home.  Will we hear Him say, “well done”?  Today I am
