Finally Alive...

God has been so good to me in so many ways - all my life - and this past week has just brought me that much closer to Him. There's such a sweetness when He breaks the walls down and helps us embrace Him more... and crucifies more of the things that get in the way of loving Him.

Pastor Mike gave me a book last night called Finally Alive by John Piper - and I haven't even read it yet, but the title was swimming through my head all morning, and I sat down and started typing and the Lord just filled me up with what He's done for me.

Holy Father - You are so good to me, and I cannot find words enough to thank You for letting me see pieces of Your glory in this life, and for giving me true life that I may see Your glory in its fullness for all eternity once I pass from this world to the home You've prepared for me.


Finally Alive

I wandered out in darkness,
Walking my own way
Tossed by the wind and waves
Sin and evil obey

I thought life was living
According to my own will
Not knowing I was dead in sin,
Until Your promise was revealed

I am finally alive O Lord,
Alive and free from sin.
I once lived so far without
But now Jesus is within.

Help me LORD abide in You,
And please abide in me.
I cannot thank you Lord enough
For letting blind eyes see:
I am finally alive

The One who spoke the Words
Before the beginning of all time:
Let there be light in darkness,
And let that light be Mine

He shined His Light within my heart
That His glory I might know,
In the face of His own Son, our Lord
Who died for us to show

I am finally alive O Lord,
Alive and free from sin.
I once lived so far without
But now Jesus is within.

Help me LORD abide in You,
And please abide in me.
I cannot thank you Lord enough
For letting blind eyes see:
I am finally alive

I want to tell the world about
My LORD who died for me
You don’t know you’ve been a slave
Until you’ve been set free

Father shine your Light in them
That their eyes might see
Your glory in Jesus Christ
For all eternity.

I am finally alive O Lord,
Alive and free from sin.
I once lived so far without
But now Jesus is within.

Help me LORD abide in You,
And please abide in me.
I cannot thank you Lord enough
For letting blind eyes see:
I am finally alive
