Stay Empty

Miriam and I always encourage each other to go “limp” with some of the hard stuff that comes our way…..... Not to fight it or burn energy trying to change what we can’t. We know that we have to be empty for Christ to fill us. Sometimes going limp means to empty ourselves of all we think we want. We really ONLY want what God wants for us…..but it is so hard to die to self. I love this song….....the first time I heard it was after FH had left us…........I cried and prayed through it. It has become a regular thing that I pray. Thank you Mr. Niequist….....
Stay Empty
By: Aaron Niequist
My life is cracked in ways that I don’t understand,
And there are holes inside I never planned.
But this roller-coaster,
Is how You pull me closer.
And I trust that You are who You made me for –
And I will
stay empty,
I will keep waiting;
I will stay empty,
Until You fill me up and I
I will stay empty,
I will keep waiting,
Until You fill me up with You.
Send Your floods to
help me clean out
my heart’s space,
Please come quickly,
it’s so hard to wait.
This world is temporary,
I cry for sanctuary!
And throw myself into the strongest arms of Hope –
It may come soon,
And maybe it won’t.
I want to run,
But I know You don’t.
I give You my heart,
And trust You in faith.
And cling to the blessings
I anticipate!
