a glimpse of sharon world...

*whaaaaap.*

there are some days when God will just hit you in the face and be like, "do you see now?" and then you'll finally see things in the right perspective and sheepishly say, "oh."

today is one of those days for me.

ever since sunday i've been thinking about ken taylor's sermon. not like, incessantly, but it has been on my mind but i guess i have just been so relunctant to change. the whole, "i didn't do anything wrong" bit. well, maybe i didn't really directly do anything wrong at the time, but doing nothing since then isn't exactly right thing to do either. i remember i was talking on the phone with justin about stuff yesterday, and i was just like....yah yah yah yah. (hehhe. sorry justin.) when he was like making valid and important points that i needed to hear. well i mean, i "heard" them. but i didn't really really hear them, u know? (must have been my "yah yah yah"s.) :( stupid stupid pride. stupid stupid me.

anyway, today God hit me with something. thanks Father, it kinda hurt (my pride mostly), it kinda made me feel stupid, but i needed it. but then again...You already knew that. :)

I come into this place
Burning to receive your peace
I come with my own chains
From wars I've fought for my own selfish gain
You're my God and my Father
I've accepted your Son
But my soul feels so empty now
What have I become?

Lord, come with your fire,
Burn my desires; refine me
Lord, my will has deceived me
Please come and free me
Refine me

My heart can't see
When I only look at me
My soul can't hear
When I only think of my own fears
They are gone in a moment
You're forever the same
Why did I look away from You
How can I speak Your name?

Lord, come with Your fire,
burn my desires; refine me
Lord, my will has deceived me
Please come and free me
Come rescue this child
For I long to be reconciled to You

It's all I can do
To give my heart and soul to You
And pray, and pray, oh I will pray

Lord, come with Your fire,
burn my desires; refine me
Lord, my will has deceived me
Please come and free me
Come rescue this child
For I long to be reconciled to You

Refine me, refine me
Refine me, refine me
