Speak Lord. Your servant is listening...

When the music fades, all is stripped away, and I simply come...
Wanting just to bring something thats of worth that will bless Your heart.

I'll bring you more than a song, for a song in itself is not what you have required.
You search much deeper within. From the way things appear, You're looking into my heart.

I'm coming back to the heart of worship, and its all about you. Its all about you, Jesus.
I'm sorry Lord for the thing i've made it, when its all about you.
Its all about you Jesus.

King of endless worth, no one could express how much you deserve.
Though i'm weak and poor, all I have is yours- every single breath.

I'll bring you more than a song, for a song in itself is not what you have required.
You search much deeper within. From the way things appear, You're looking into my heart.

I'm coming back to the heart of worship, and its all about you. Its all about you, Jesus.
I'm sorry Lord for the thing i've made it, when its all about you.
Its all about you Jesus.

I bought a necklace today. I saw it hanging on the rack at New York and Company and it caught my eye. First, because its artistic beauty, and second because it was a cross. I don't normally buy jewelry, and the jewlry I do occasionally buy is not generally large and elaborately religious. Part of my reasoning is that these days people who wear large elaborate crosses are either conforming to materialistic fashion and robbing the symbol of all important meaning, or, they are being overtly religious in order to draw attention to themselves. Personally I am saddened by both ideas. But I don't want to anger anyone. I know that there are many people who sport religious jewlry out of a sincere desire to bear the symbol of their Savior. Its just that I myself am often afraid of wearing a cross because I don't want to find myself guilty of dragging the symbol of God deeper into the mud (though alas, it is unavoidable anyway). I suppose this fear points to deeper personal issues of dealing with sin, but I will spare you all and go back to what I was originally saying.

For some reason, seeing that Cross being prominently displayed in a department store nearly brought me to tears. So, I bought it. The more I look at it, the more I think about it, the more i'm reminded what it stands for.


Have a wonderful week.
