MY FATHER'S HEART

"The trouble with nearly everybody who prays is that they say “Amen” and run away before God has a chance to reply. Listening to God is far more important than giving Him your ideas." ~ Frank Laubach

Psalm 150

1 Praise the LORD. Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in His mighty heavens. 2 Praise Him for His acts of power; praise Him for His surpassing greatness. 3 Praise Him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise Him with the harp and lyre, 4 praise Him with tambourine and dancing, praise Him with the strings and flute, 5 praise Him with the clash of cymbals, praise Him with resounding cymbals.

6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.

ONE HEART

I should have shared this last Sunday, on Father's Day...I have been reflecting & praying all this week...to Our Heavenly Fatherwho I honor with this song as my prayer!I had shared this on my blog back when I started in 2008 but that video is no longer available, so in case that happens with this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNnBpZ-kp1I Here are the words:

My Father's Heart ~ Rachael Lampa

Let everything that breathes

Praise You

The earth, the sky, the sea

Praise You

Just as nature shows to us

Your blessing

Soon I find my heart

Confessing

Chorus:

My love is not my own

It all belongs to You

And after all You've done

the least that I can do

Is live my life

In every part

Only to please my Father's heart

Verse 2:

Love is all You need

To heal us

Flowing from the heavens, Jesus

And with one voice we'll sing

Together

And this will be our song

Forever

(Chorus)(Instrumental Bridge)(Chorus)

As I pause and listen to You, may my ears remain attentive all day long as You whisper sweetly to me, calling me back to spend time with You... in each activity, may You be in the center and may my thoughts, words and actions reflect someone so in love with the LORD that I pour forth more of You and less of me. May my flesh surrender to You and I commit living a life fully under Your control, guidance, wisdom, and flow in Your Spirit and fruit so others will know how Great You are...the great I AM... the Alpha and Omega... the Living Word & Water of my soul, I thirst and hunger for more of You in me... abundantly... in Your aMazing Grace and Love... that's why WORSHIP is a WAY! Happy Father's Day (belated) but wished every day that You be happy in all You are accomplishing in me and through me... as I walk ever so closely with my hand in Yours... trusting and believing... in Jesus' beloved Name... ADDED NOTE: the initial quote struck me and others so I wanted to share a bit of who is Frank Laubach:

Dr. Frank C. Laubach (1884-1970) was a Christian Evangelical missionary and mystic known as "The Apostle to the Illiterates." In 1935, while working at a remote location in the Philippines, he developed the "Each One Teach One" literacy program, which has been used to teach about 60 million people to read in their own language. He was deeply concerned about poverty, injustice and illiteracy, and considered them a barrier to peace in the world. In 1955, he founded Laubach Literacy and Mission Fund, now called Laubach Literacy. During his latter years of his life, traveled all over the world speaking on topics of literacy and world peace. He was author of a number of devotional writings and works on literacy.
