Pleasing to You...

Lately I've had a lot of time on my hand. Since I don't really know my way around town and don't want to get lost or get stuck somewhere, I've been using my time on thinking, reflecting, and doing some exercise in my apartment (nothing fancy, just sit up & push up).

As I do so, I always like to have my ipod on and just leaving it on random to see what song comes on. Today, I came across a song that I've heard a few times but never really paid a whole lot of attention to. However, this time around I was able to really paid attention to the lyrics and boy was this is a awesome song! It really sang out the desires of my heart to be more like Jesus, holy and pleasing to God our Father. I LOVE IT!!! Especially in the chorus when it says, "I give my life my all, taking the cross I will follow. Jesus my heart must know, I'm pleasing to You". I was sooooo touched by this song and sooooo pumped and motivated to be pleasing Him more and more each day!!!

Sanctify me
Clean out my closet
Take away anything
That is not pleasing to You

Purify me
Destroy all my anger
Wash away everything
That is not pleasing to You

I will be white as snow
I will be pure as gold
Jesus my heart must know
I'm pleasing to You

I give my life my all
Taking the cross
I will follow
Jesus my heart must know
I'm pleasing to You

Sanctify me
You are the light to guide me
To the place where I am
Only pleasing to You

Oh come and Purify me Lord
I need your light inside me
So the darkness flees
And I can be pleasing to You

Come make me white as snow
Lord make me pure as gold
Jesus my heart must know
I'm pleasing to You

I give my life my all
Taking the cross I will follow
Jesus my heart must know
I'm pleasing to You

"....This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased...."
Matthew 17:5.
