Do we apply the words we speak or sing?

Have you ever stopped to really listen to the words of the songs you are singing in church or anywhere else? Today take a minute and really think about these words. 

"Forever Reign"

You are good
You are good
When there's nothing good in me
You are love
You are love
On display for all to see

You are light
You are light
When the darkness closes in
You are hope
You are hope
You have covered all my sin

You are peace
You are peace
When my fear is crippling
You are true
You are true
Even in my wandering

You are joy
You are joy
You're the reason that I sing
You are life
You are life
In you death has lost it's sting

Oh, I'm running to Your arms
I'm running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

You are more
You are more
Than my words will ever say
You are Lord
You are Lord
All creation will proclaim

You are here
You are here
In your presence I'm made whole
You are God
You are God
Of all else I'm letting go

Hallelujah, forever
All the glory, forever
All the praise to You

My heart will sing
No other name
Jesus, Jesus

This is another song we sang:

"At The Cross"

There's a place where mercy reigns and never dies,
There's a place where streams of grace flow deep and wide.
Where all the love I've ever found,
Comes like a flood,
Comes flowing down.

[Chorus:]
At the cross
At the cross
I surrender my life.
I'm in awe of You
I'm in awe of You
Where Your love ran red
and my sin washed white.
I owe all to You
I owe all to You Jesus.

There's a place where sin and shame are powerless.
Where my heart has peace with God and forgiveness.
Where all the love I've ever found.
Comes like a flood,
Comes flowing down.

[Chorus]

Here my hope is found
Here on holy ground
Here I bow down
Here arms open wide
Here You save my life
Here I bow down
Here I bow down

[Chorus]

Our strength grows tired and weary, but God is the only way. You see when we try to do anything without God it dies, but with God all things are possible. If we try to love our love will fade, but when we chose to put God first, the love we have only grows, it become a choice that we are able to love unconditionally, because He first loved us. 

Jesus came to save us from ourselves, not just on Sunday, but every day. Time to step up to walk with God every day, not just one day a week. When we surrender to God, we say you are in control, it is no longer my way, but yours. More of you and less of me, More of Your way and less of mine. It can't be about what I want, but what He wants. It isn't my money, but God's money, not my time, but God's time. You see the perspective changes for me to God.
