Morning Song & Prayer

This morning we held hands at the breakfast table.
We sang but it was more than a song, it was our prayer.

Here I am waiting, Abide in me I pray.
Here I am longing for You. [ Lord we need Your Presence ]
Hide me in Your love. [ Nothing is more secured than Your Love ]
Bring me to my knees. [ What a picture of being vanquished, the posture of surrender, the folly to fight anymore ]
May I know Jesus, more and more. [ Will I know You more, to walk the path You are leading ?]

Come live in me, all my life take over. [ Yes Lord, You have to take over ]
Come breathe in me and I will rise on eagle's wings. [ Yes Lord, I will soar with You ]

It was more than a song. It was a cry from my heart.

Isaiah 61
61:1The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, 2 to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God,to comfort all who mourn, 3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion--to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,the oil of gladness instead of mourning,and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.They will be called oaks of righteousness,a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. NIV

Isa 61:10-11
I delight greatly in the LORD;my soul rejoices in my God.For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness,as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest,and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. 11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow,so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations. NIV
