~~my new FAVORITE song~~

Oh my, I have heard it before but it just hit me today and I had to look up the singer online and just share the awesome lyrics to "my new FAVORITE song". The song is called Empty Me and is song by Chris Sligh. (oh he sings great too... being a writer sometimes the lyrics hit me more)

Empty Me

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

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

pre-chorus * 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

I especially like the words in blue... what powerful lyrics.. wish I had wrote them! But I am blessed never the less. I will attach his web site and am going to attempt to post a video of it. It's worth a listen..

What a way to pray each day...... LORD EMPTY ME OF ME SO I CAN BE FILLED WITH YOU.... Let it be so..
