Give Me Faith

The song I've had on repeat for months::

Elevation Worship – Give Me Faith

I need You to soften my heart,
To break me apart.
I need You to open my eyes,
To see that You're shaping my life.

All I am, I surrender. 
 
Give me faith to trust what You say
That You're good, and Your love is great.
I'm broken inside, I give You my life.

I need You to soften my heart,
To break me apart.
I need You to pierce through the dark
And cleanse every part of me.

[Chorus]

I may be weak,
but Your Spirit's strong in me.
My flesh may fail,
but My God You never will.

I've heard many times over the years about the importance of having a sincere heart when singing and actually meaning what you are singing.

 

When I sing-

"I need You to soften my heart,
To break me apart.
I need You to open my eyes,
To see that You're shaping my life.."
I'd better mean it!

This definitely feels like a reflection of what God is doing in me right now. Softening my heart by breaking me apart. Opening my eyes to what He is doing in me. While I can't see the end result, I trust what He says, that He's good and His love is great. He is a master potter, skilled at what He does. Whether He is softening or shaping, there is a purpose. I am indeed weak, but He is strong. I'm prone to failure, but He is faithful. And that truth is enough for me to cling to today.
