Connecting God's Heart - Through Yours - To Others

One of the most amazing things about getting to lead people in worship is the chance to help them connect their heart to God's heart. And what is incredible in the exchange, is that it does not simply jump through you. You are participating in this fantastic community moment where each of you understands the heart of God in a deeper way. As gratifying as it is to worship alone, to sing to God to write something down to Him or about Him in private, there is nothing like taking the things that you have responded to in you alone time and joining it to the hearts of hundreds of people. There have been several songs that I have written, that have become so much more meaningful to me once I have seen how those words, those melodies have connected with other people.



YOU WERE LED



You Set Your mind to the cause

Knowing the pain that lay before you

For a sin stained race of lost sons and daughters

You were led to the hill

But the pain would not compare

To the abandonment of the Father

As the sin of all mankind weighed on Him

He was led to the hill

Oh my Lord your love is amazing

Why would You do this for me

Suffer and die, take my own sin

And be my lifeline, my only lifelline



BEATITUDE



Poor in spirit, broken sister

There is healing in this place

Mourning father, meek young soldier

Comfort comes, inheritance for all



Come be filled, all who thirst

And hunger for righteousness

Seeking mercy, pure intention

It shall return as you see God



Peaceful countenance, haven maker

You are called a son of God

Persecuted for conviction

All you're longed for is in store



Heaven waits, earth is given

Peace is granted, all is joy



What are the things that God has been speaking to your heart, that could take on even greater meaning if it was shared within your community?
