Oh God
in those pockets of our souls
that have gone dead and dormant
do a resurrection work
where our ears have closed tight
open them wide
where our hearts have hardened
soften them
making them pliable with surrender
where we've closed ourselves to your Holy Word
breathe renewed conviction and hope
wake us up, shake us up, shape us up
for Jesus' sake
amen

Oh, Linda,
ReplyDeleteSaying "Amen" and praying with you...for some reason the phrase "Pockets" of our souls stirs me...maybe because I need to empty some pockets and let God fill them with His tender love and mercy...Thankful for you...praying God continues to sustain and grace you and your family ...((hugs))
May your prayer for extra helpings of love and mercy be answered in ways that fill you with delight, friend ...
DeleteAnd that you're praying for my family fills me with deepest gratitude.
;-}
I like the last lines very much. Wake us up, shake us up....
ReplyDeleteYeah, there's usually some hidden area that needs His tender touch ...
DeleteNice song, but this morning is a nadir - already awake and shaken by a living nightmare, trying to fight the strength to fight on. It ain't easy.

In your fearful despair, friend, may you find refuge in His constant presence. Praying for you right at this very moment.
DeleteMay you hear Him whispering peace to your troubled mind and heart ...
Chris Tomlin-anointed by God and given a great measure of talent which he uses for The Kingdom!
ReplyDeleteSabbath Blessings, Friend!
Good stuff, yes, yes!

Listening to Chris Tomlin right now and letting God breathe on me...no better way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Thanks, Linda.
ReplyDeleteI had Pandora set on Instrumental Praise this morning. Boy, did it soothe my soul, reassure me of His love, ready me for worship.
DeleteMusic does that, doesn't it ...
Beautiful music to worship to! Thank you for ending my Sunday evening with music, praise and worship. Blessings on the new week!
ReplyDeleteYou made me think how calming it would be to end every day with praise music ... instead of TV or being online ...
DeleteYou're brilliant, girl!
;-}
Lord Wake Me, Shake me and Shape me in Jesus Name.
ReplyDeleteAmen!
God Bless my dear friend. Praying that Lord encourages you through your series. By this week you are half way through. Keep up the good work.
1/2 way? Yay!
DeleteYou cheerleader, you!

I wanted to tell you that I LOVE the Chris Tomlin song. Wow! I'd never heard it before and I just loved it! Thanks for sharing.
