all my life…

my mind goes over the lyrics again and again….

There’s just one chief end to man’s purpose, one main reason for existence, all man’s vain and high ambitions will one day be brought low, will one day be brought low

To treasure You above all others, to love You like we love no other
Your greatness soon will be uncovered, and all the earth will then know, and all the earth will then know

For You alone will be exalted in that day, worthless goals will be exposed as idols that we’ve made
For You alone will be exalted in that day, you’ll be seen as rightful King and from our hearts we’ll say that

All is for Your glory, all is for Your name, all is for Your glory
That in all things You may have first place … That in all things You may have preeminence

So put me anywhere, just put Your glory in me… I’ll serve anywhere, just let me see Your beauty
So put me anywhere, just put Your glory in me… I’ll serve anywhere, just let me see Your beauty
Catch me up in Your story

All my life for Your glory … My God, My joy, My delight

i say i will serve anywhere. i say all my life for your glory. i say i just want to see your beauty and that will be enough. i say that. the sad truth, obvious from the fruit of my life, is that it is more often not enough. more times than not, i want more. i want things He put in my heart…all things that are supposed to drive me back to Him, but i let them be about this life.

i want to say all my life for your glory and mean it. i want to say that if i never did what i thought i was created for, if i never got to marry or have kids, if i never lived another adventure but that brought Him more glory, it would be enough. i want to want that even when my flesh doesn’t.

i am so thankful that i serve a God who doesn’t quit when my flesh is winning but promises to complete the work He started in me!!! (philippians 1:6)
