Song to Share

I am not for sure what it is about this song that keeps it stuck in my head but I thought I would just share it for the day's entry. Chris Sligh was a finalist on American Idol's 6th season. He has written this song which is currently doing very well on the Christian music charts. I think if we all emptied ourself of even a portion of our selfishness and pride that we would be amazed at the results. Have a great weekend everyone!

Chris Sligh - Empty Me
From the album Running Back To You

I’ve had just enough
Of the spotlight when it burns bright
To see how it gets in the blood
I’ve tasted my share
Of the sweet life and the wild ride
And found a little is not quite enough
I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change

Chorus:
Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds onto
Lord, empty me of me so I can be filled with You

I’ve seen just enough
Of the quick buys of the best lies
To know how prodigals can be drawn away
I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change

Chorus:

‘Cause everything is a lesser thing
Compared to You, compared to You
‘Cause everything is a lesser thing
Compared to You, so I surrender all

Chorus:

I must not have checked your blog in a few days.....I actually had to read 3 different posts! That's unusual because I'm usually waiting anxiously for the next installment of your journey. Wow, what a process! I am learning so much about the adoption process (so many hoops to jump through!). I so wish I was still in Macomb to hear about this journey from you in person....

Keep posting new pics of the kiddos! Love seeing Brady and Madison!

miss you!
