Spiritual Sundays

Hello Friends; it's time for Spiritual Sundays again!

Have you ever been so moved by a song or testimony that it changed your life?
Many years ago now, when I was a very young Christian, it was my heart's cry to know the Lord more and to be completely obedient to His calling on my life. Even though I was very young at the time, He had stirred up my heart until I could do nothing else but lay everything down for Him. It was about that time that this beautiful song had been recorded. The poignancy of the music and the words to the song are so powerful that I made it my prayer.
It is a beautiful song written by Lanny Wolfe and I wish I could play it for you but the words alone are powerful enough to penetrate your heart.

WHATEVER IT TAKES

There's a voice calling me from an old rugged tree

And He whispers, "Come closer to Me,

Leave this world far behind,

There are new heights to climb

And a new place in Me you will find."

chorus:

For whatever it takes to draw closer to you, Lord

That's what I'll be willing to do

For whatever it takes to be more like you

That's what I'll be willing to do.

Verse 2-

Take the dearest things to me

If that's how it must be

To draw me closer to Thee

Let the disappointments come

Lonely days without the sun

If through sorrow more like You I'll become.

repeat chorus

Bridge:

I'll trade sunshine for rain, comfort for pain

That's what I'll be willing to do

For whatever it takes for my will to break

That's what I'll be willing to do.

Tag:

That's what I'll be willing to do!

Perhaps some of you may recall this song. I'm not saying I'm anywhere near where I ought to be in Him, but this is a good place to start.

"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise." PSALMS 51:17
