Pour Out my Heart

Here I am, once again
I pour out my heart for I know that you hear
Every cry, you are listening
No matter what state my heart is in

You are faithful to answer
With words that are true and a hope that is real
As I feel your touch
You bring a freedom to all that's within

In the safety of this place
I'm longing to...

Pour out my heart to say that I love you
Pour out my heart to say that I need you
Pour out my heart to say that I'm thankful
Pour out my heart to say that you're wonderful

So I heard this song at CU a few weeks ago and it has remained in my heart. Just before writing this I was really bogged down by many things but just life in general. But I was reminded by a friend that it's time for me to seek God, time for me to knock because all that I need is in Him. It is true, I feel safe with Him, He makes me lie down in green pastures and as Psalm 121 says, my help is in the Lord. And as the song says, He hears our every cry and is always faithful to answer. But it doesn't end there, we also need to pour out, we need to soften our hearts and be vulnerable before God so we can receive His love. So often I find that when I do this, my complaints, my fears and sorrows become praise. The more I pour out, the more I praise. I am convinced that it is God's comfort.

So here I am, once again, I pour out my heart...
