EVERYTHING

Find me here

Speak to me

I want to feel You

I need to hear You

You are the Light

That's leading me

To the place

Where I find peace

Again

You are the Strength

That keeps me walking

You are the Hope

That keeps me trusting

You are the Light

To my Soul

You are my purpose...

You're everything

And how can I stand here with You and not be moved by You?

Would You tell me

How could it be

Any better than this?

You calm the storms

And You give me rest

You hold me in Your hands

You won't let me fall

You steal my heart

And You take my breath away

Would You take me in...

Take me deeper now?

And how can I be here with You...and not be moved by You?

Would You tell me

How could it be

Any better than this?

CAUSE YOU'RE ALL I WANT

ALL I NEED

EVERYTHING

EVERYTHING

YOU'RE ALL I WANT

ALL I NEED

EVERYTHING EVERYTHING

~lyrics by Lifehouse

Young people are passionate. We just are. When things upset us...they REALLY upset us! And that's a good thing! It means we're still alive. And not just physically.
But what would happen...what could happen...if us young people (and old people for that matter) began to turn our passions and affections away from this world and everything it has to offer...and to the One whose Passion is the very definition and reason for our existance?
This world wouldn't know what hit it! Guys, we have a Hope to offer people. Do you realize most people have never even heard of Hope? Not real Hope. It's like we're walking around with these dead bodies and hearts...but our spirits are SO alive! They're sound asleep but they're alive! So what if we woke up? WHAT IF?!
Our problem is not a lack of Passion. It's where our Passion is directed. Or not directed. There's a God who knows us so well that He says our names are written on His hand (Isaiah 49:16)...how does that work?! How does that work?! And we spend all our time going from one boyfriend to the next...one wife to the next...one break to the next. Just trying to get through.
Why? Why do we "live" like that...when Life is breathing inside of us? Our careers and jobs and degrees are not impressive to God. You know what impresses God? Our compassion for people. Our love for people who are not ourselves (imagine that....there's someone else out there that's not me?!)
But you know what I think impresses God even more? Our love for Him. After all, it's our love for Him that inspires love for anyone else. God IS love. Pure, sweet, innocent, all-knowing Love. He's Everything.

This turned out to be totally different than what I thought it would be. Oh well. :) This video's amazing....and it's the only way I know to explain why I am the way I am. Why I don't date..why God is everything I lean on. Somewhere along the way....He captivated my heart. And I've never been the same.

Since the video won't post on here...you can go to youtube and type in "lifehouse everything"
