(Heart abandoned ~ Passion ft Kristian Stanfill)

I’ve mulled over and over in my mind 

What it means to worship You 

What song pleases You 

What posture pleases You 

What life honours You


Because I have come to learn 

That everything I have 

And all I’ll ever have 

Is of and from You 

There’s nothing I could give 

That isn’t Yours already 


There’s no song I could sing 

Whose words were not inspired by Your Spirit 

There’s no love poem I could write 

Whose words were not preordained by You 

There’s nothing I could offer 

That was not breathed by Your Spirit 


Serving in Your Courts is a gift 

Granted by The Most Gracious Giver 

Every good thing You find in me 

Is from You


Instead 

You tell me that I am enough 

And I believe You above every sentiment;

You do not lie 

Your Truth makes me whole 


So…I stay right here 

In the fullness Your Presence 

Yet another great gift

You have given me 

Your Presence makes me whole


I sit still

In The Presence of The One 

Who keeps me; my Keeper

You tell me You neither sleep nor slumber 

Your Peace makes me whole 


I sit still

In The Presence of The One 

Who makes me; my Maker

You teach me to sit long 

Your Love makes me whole


I sit still

The longer I sit, the more I behold

The more I behold, the more I die 

And the more I die, the more I live 

You’re all I’ll ever need


So here’s my bottle of spikenard 

A life quietly laid down

At Your Feet 

And never picked back up again

You own me.
