LORD, I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE YOU... PUT A SONG ON MY HEART...

TRANSFORMING THURSDAY

.

Our scripture focus for yesterday says,

.

Because You are my help,

I sing in the shadow of Your wings.

.

.

Have you ever asked God to put a song on your heart? When I've been singing praises to Him -my life just goes better!

.

I travel throughout the southern part of our state supervising student teachers. The CD player in my car is on the blink and I'm not techy enough to remember my Ipod each day. I've noticed that on the days that I talk to God, as I'm driving, that those days go okay, but I tend to get a somewhat negative with my prayers.

.

If I pray and then ask God to put a song on my heart, those days just go better. I've been making an attempt to not shuffle through all the songs that I know. I just wait on Him. I automatically go throughout each week singing our blog theme song. Yet, the song that God often puts on my heart comes from years ago... even as far back as my childhood.

.

Yesterday, it was:

Face to face with Christ, my Savior,

Face to face—what will it be?

When with rapture I behold Him,

Jesus Christ who died for me.

.
Face to face I shall behold Him,

Far beyond the starry sky;

Face to face in all His glory,

I shall see Him by and by!

.
Only faintly now, I see Him,

With the darkling veil between,

But a blessed day is coming,

When His glory shall be seen.

.
What rejoicing in His presence,

When are banished grief and pain;

When the crooked ways are straightened,

And the dark things shall be plain.
Face to face! O blissful moment!

Face to face—to see and know;

Face to face with my Redeemer,

Jesus Christ who loves me so.

.

God created us to have a song in our heart. Lately, I often find myself singing this one as I travel down the road:

.

There's within my heart a melody

Jesus whispers sweet and low:

Fear not, I am with thee,

peace, be still,

in all of life's ebb and flow.

.

Refrain:

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,

sweetest name I know,

fills my every longing,

keeps me singing as I go.

.

Which song will you allow God to place on your heart today?

Jesus, I want to be just like You!

.

Please put a song on my heart today.
