My Voice

When my voice is silenced by death, will the life I leave behind still speak of Jesus?

I was walking to class today and randomly thought of this. Actually, God put it in my head, but it was random because it just popped in there. :)

This really is my prayer. I want to glorify my God in life and in death. I would love it if people remembered me for my life lived for Christ and not myself. For my love for Him. For the fact that I often spoke of Him. For the fact that I was not part of this world. I know they'll remember my imperfections, but I want those to be minimized by Christ working in me. I want to be known as a child of God who is wholly devoted to Him. Even when I die, I want to leave that behind.

How Wonder

It was love that brought you from above
To walk upon the earth
And love that caused your weariness
Your hunger and your thirst
It was love that caused you to be tried
And tempted by the foe
And love that brought the nails and cross
And love that bought my soul

How wonderful your love
The mystery of mysteries
Filling up my heart
More glorious than I know
How wonderful your love
There's nothing else so sweet to me
I'll never be apart
From the lover of my soul

Your love is filled with holiness
Oh Spirit fan this flame
Your love will never cease for me
Your love will never change
Oh let me se your love for me
Around me everywhere
The shining sun, the gentle rain
Remind me of your care

How wonderful your love
The mystery of mysteries
Filling up my heart
More glorious than I know
How wonderful your love
There's nothing else so sweet to me
I'll never be apart
From the lover of my soul
