From the Inside Out


Tonight was the first time getting to Community Meeting since returning from my break. A group of people were planning to go out to the boardwalk after the meeting to enjoy Grand Canaria before we leave Saturday morning. I was excited to get to go out with some friends and enjoy some of the sites around, we would just be leaving as soon as the service was over. During the worship segment of the service we sang a song that I've sung many times. It's one of the favorites that we would sing in our small group that I've been meeting with on the ship. I've had the words memorized and sung them many times without giving them a second thought until tonight. There's a line in the song it says."My heart and my soul, I give you control...Consume me from the inside out." And as soon as I realized that I was saying to God, I give you control. He reminded me, HEY! You've been gone from the ship for 5 weeks running back and forth all over the place...it's time for some time with ME! So, I didn't go out. I decided it was a night to sit back and spend some time with Him. I've listened to the song a few more times it's a great prayer. I would recommend reading through the lyrics and then listening to the song while reading the lyrics. Maybe He has something to tell you or just a few moments of meditating on Him will give you some strength to get you through the day..

A thousand times I've failed
Still your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
Still I'm caught in your grace

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame

My heart and my soul, I give You control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise, become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Your will above all else, my purpose remains
The art of losing myself in bringing you praise

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame

My heart, my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out, O my soul cries out

My Soul cries out to You
My Soul cries out to You
to You, to You

My heart, my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out, O my soul cries out

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out, O my soul cries out
From the inside out, O my soul cries out
From the inside out, O my soul cries out.
