Meditation & Prayer for Today
A song I was so deeply touched by and had the privilege to sing with my friend Josh at church was "Jesus Cast a Look on Me". I just simply want to post the lyrics here (seperate from my other blog entry from today) and let you pray them into your life. Be affected by them and be effective because of them - Jesus reigns!
Jesus cast a look on me
Give me sweet simplicity
Make me poor and keep me low
Seeking only Thee to know
All that feeds my busy pride
Cast it evermore aside
Bid my will to Thine submit
Lay me humbly at Thy feet
Make me like a little child
Of my strength and wisdom spoiled
Seeing only in Thy light
Walking only in Thy might
Leaning on Thy loving breast
Where a weary soul can rest
Feeling well the peace of God
Flowing from His precious blood
In this posture let me live
And hosannas daily give
In this temper let me die
And hosannas ever cry!
Loving Jesus.

You want to sing it on the streets? I'll bring my guitar! This is such a great song. I was thinking through the lyrics on Sunday, actually.
The last stanza is morbidly hopeful: In this posture let me live
And hosannas daily give
In this temper let me die
And hosannas ever cry.
Americans do everything in our power to avoid talking and thinking about death. We call it every other name in the book 'pass away', 'not with us any more', 'not coming down for breakfast.' It is a gospel thing to be able say "When I die, I want to find all my peace in knowing and being known by Jesus."
