"He's gonna get you where He wants, when He wants, and how He wants and if your not there it's probably because He doesn't want you there."  Banning Liebscher

I heard this today... and totally "whoed in the spirit!"

seeing

Last weekend I had an amazing experience.  I was at a conference in Dubai held by the church that I attend.  There were a lot of manifestations of the Spirit and in all different forms.  It never fails, but when I am in this type of atmosphere I always (every single time) am the one who has some very big person fall on me.  This time was no different.  It happened again!  I usually try to find a very safe corner w/as little people as possible and soak.  I tried to do this but you tend to loose sight of people with your eyes closed.  BAMB!  It happened again! Another person fell on me! There are only two places that I feel safe, in corners or on stage. So I set up shop and put chairs around me in the corner, this worked for a short period and then it began to calm down a little bit.  For some reason, I was not feeling any sort of physical manifestations but my heart was just SCREAMING worship! worship! worship!  As Holy Spirit's scene began to calm down a bit, I sat down in front of the stage and was just soaking w/my eyes closed.  It then happened! No, no one fell on me but I saw something that can not be seen!  At first with my eyes closed, I saw these clear waves coming from the piano!  I was like "no way! what is that?"  I then opened my eyes and saw the clear waves in the present!  They were coming from the piano and coming towards me!  The ringlets came past my head and went on.  Then I began to see another set, and then another, and then another!  I was seeing sound! How cool is that?!!!

Terebinth Tree

The other night I had a dream.  In the dream I heard a voice, in which I think was the Holy Spirit.  He said "the Lord is just like a Terebinth Tree."  Immediately I awoke and began searching anything I could on Terebinth Trees.  The past few days I have been learning just how beautiful these trees are and just how Strong they are.  Here's a little something that I created this morning, while meditating on the characteristics of a Terebinth Tree. :-)

Caught up

Today I am just so caught up in the love of God.  I was reading in Deuteronomy this morning...

"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength."   
Deuteronomy 6:5

This is no new scripture to me, but is very familiar.  I tend to quote this scripture to my spirit quite often but today this scripture spoke to me in a different way.  What does it really mean to love the Lord my God with all my heart, with all my soul, and with all my strength?  Is this actually something that I can possibly obtain on my own strength?  This morning when I prayed this scripture, I just began to say "Lord who am I? Who am I that You would love me with all Your heart, with all Your soul, with all Your strength?  Who am I that You would love me this way? But You do. You do love me in this way.  You love me with all that You ever had."

It's quite amazing how strong and vast God's love truly is.  I look at just who I am now, who I used to be, and who God is making me into and I just can't help to say... God loves me so much!  I don't deserve this extravagant love but I have been given it.  This is the truest, deepest love that I have and will ever experience.  I am truly grateful for God's love.  I look at were I used to be, who I used to be, and how dark my heart used to be and then I look at who I am now, where God has brought me, and how much lighter my heart is.   I just have to say that I am so in love with a Beautiful Man who has loved me in my darkness and my past, and who now loves me in my very present.  I am so in love with a Beautiful Man who will continue to bring me into His completion.  I just have to ask again "Who am I God that You, the God who created the Universe, who made the depth of the seas, and put the stars in the sky, who died on that tree to bring life to me, who am I that You chose me?"  

As I prayed this scripture this morning I was just in awe of the Presence of God in my very own living room as I spoke to Him.  His Love is simply the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced.  How I want to know Him more intimately than anything in the so called existence of life-as the world calls it.  I want to know Him more than anything in all of eternity that is and will always be.  I just couldn't help but pray "Father, help me know You.  Help me love You with all my heart. Help me love You with all my soul.  Help me love You with all my strength.  I just want to have the knowledge of You God.  I want to have a life devoted to knowing who You truly are."

I can't help to question (without wanting to truly know)...
"What would I have become if He wouldn't have given His Son?
What would I have become if He wouldn't have shed His blood on that cross?"

He sent His Son, He gave it all, He loved me with all His Heart.  He loved me with all His Soul, He loved me with all His Strength."

I pray today, "Help me Father love you this way."

Quote of the Day

"You cannot have any higher price than God giving Himself for love."  This is the greatest picture of what true love is all about.

Not like man. Not like me.

I heard this chorus this morning...
"All man's empty promises lie broken at Your feet... but You have never broken one."
I just raised my hands and declared this (with my hair straightener in hand :-D).
 I began to sing and dance this morning ...
"When all my empty promises lie broken at Your feet...  You have never broken one."

It just reminded me that God is not like us.
He's not like man.
He's faithful. He's good. He's forever unlike anything in this World.
God is not like man. He's not like me.
He gives us beauty for ashes.
He gives us garments of praise.
He gives us infinite mercy for those who fear Him.
He opens up His Heart to us time after time after time,
He opens up His Heart even through our brokenness or broken promises.
He's not like man, He's not like me.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Awaken to the Good and Give Thanks

The Hebrew word for gratitude is hikarat hatov, which translates as "recognizing the good."  How many times a day do we recognize the good that is in front of us, around us, or in our circumstances?  I asked this question not only to you (the reader) but to myself.  It's so easy for us to come to terms and focus on things that we lack.  We all too many times overlook what gifts we have been given, especially when facing difficulties.  The truth is that even when facing difficulties, you still have something good that has been given to you.  I read a good quote this morning... "Practicing gratitude means recognizing the good that is already yours."  How true is this? (question not meant to be answered but realized)
 Here are a few examples:
  1. If your car just broke down but your legs work properly to walk, than you shave something to be grateful for. 
  2. If your homesick and miss your friends and family but you have made new friends in your current location, than you have something to be grateful for.
  3. If you lost your job but still have your family and health, than you have something to be grateful for.
  4. If you broke a string on your guitar but you still have 4 strings left, than you have something to be grateful for.
  5. If your flight was delayed 8 hours but you made 2 new friends from different countries, than you have something to be grateful for.
Selah
(reader pause and think)

This week I have been focusing on this character trait. GRATITUDE.  When we focus on noticing things that we can be grateful for we discover how much good there really is in our lives (even in the midst of difficulties).

Challenge:  
Say thank you to every person who does even the slightest thing that is helpful or beneficial to you.
Say thank you to God for every beautiful thing that He puts in your path.


Awaken to the good and give thanks.

Conversation with God

I was driving the other day in my home state and I had all these random thoughts come to my mind.  These thoughts were spoken verbally... although no-one else was in the car with me.  I sometimes speak to myself... via God. :-)

Random thoughts:

  1. It's so beautiful in America! The temperature is absolutely perfect with a cool fall breeze that blows across my skin.
  2. The dessert is not beautiful... thats for sure.  It's sandy, very hot, with a hot breeze that causes sand burns across your skin!
  3. Yes, I almost forgot how much I love clouds! Big white puffy clouds!
  4. There are never clouds in the U.A.E.  It's always sunny and hot as a sauna!
  5. Oh and grass too! I absolutely love grass!
  6. No grass in the U.A.E.  It's just full of rolling sand dunes and sky scraper gallore!
  7. How easy it is to get around here! There are parking spaces, no traffic, and people who follow the road rules!
  8. I def. don't miss the traffic, crazy drivers who cut you off, and the killer-accidents that happen on the highway.  Not to mention all the HONKING!!!
  9. God... I miss home and the simplicity of life.


Immediately when I said #5 out loud... God answered me.

God:  "I came so you could have life and have it more abundantly." (John 10:10)


Immediately I was struck by surprise! I did not expect to hear God speak back to me.  These past few years I have come to realize that God has a different calling for every person.  My life may look very different than someone else's, although our lives are of equal importance to God.  As I listened to what God said to me on this day, I came to understand an important point that He was trying to share with me.  For me...  the simplicity of what my life could be here in the states is not what God has called me to live.     Simplicity is not always abundance.  At this point in my life God has not called me to live a simple life back home but the exact opposite. God's view of me living abundantly is not what I may think living abundantly is... simplicity.  I have to say that this past year living in the M-East has been the hardest year of my life.  I have gone through many trials dealing with culture, people, and finding my place in a very foreign land alone.  I have been questioning going though all this again another year.  It has been a difficult year and I have been asking God if I had actually heard Him right the first time (of course I had). I was refreshed this summer by an amazing summer in HIS LAND!  This refreshed me from the hardships of the U.A.E.  Ending the summer back home in Indiana has been quite refreshing too.  Voicing (to the Lord) the simplicity of life back home in Indiana took me to a random "God encounter."

I just have to end with... "God's ways of living life abundantly are not always man's ways."
Thank you God that Your Ways are not my ways.   Important lesson learned today. :-) :-) :-)

Thoughts from the day

I fell in love with a different kind of desert today.
Wading knee high in a fresh spring in the hot desert sun.
Glistening in the heat and happy to be free.
Arab children giggling as they ran up the stream making their way to the fresh water pool.
Big almond eyes looking back as they leave saying...
Goodbye! Goodbye! Goodbye!
One of the twin girls spoke in her broken english while holding her mother's hand.
The mother smiled at her daughter's openness.
So warm and open she was to use her english skills.
I pray this is an open door to Kingdom building!
Saw my first Accacia tree today.
Remembering the instructions of the building of the tabernacle,
"you shall make it out of Accacia wood."
This just might be the kind of bush that caught Moses attention.
This is Holy ground! Take off your shoes!
The leaves sparkled above with the sun peering through.
What beauty can be found in the desert.
What beauty can be found in a spring hidden across the sea.
A sea full of crystalized salt.
Beauty it appears but no life.
How can something be so beautiful but be so dead?
On the road again.
All packed in the station wagon like sardines. :-)
Thank you's go out to the two beautiful saints who lent us the wheels!
Happy to see a different kind of desert for a change.
So many rocks compared to the soft sand that I have grown so accustomed to.
A new meaning of the saying... " if you keep silent, the rocks would cry out."
Literally how all of creation does cry out in worship.
He deserves all our praise! He deserves all our praise!
Moved on to the place where it all began.
Our great father-Abraham was a man of obedience.
A man of faith and the Lord counted it to him as righteousness.
A shepherd's field full of camels.
Saw a modern day shepherd today.
As David would have been on foot...
times have changed.
An upgrade to a Quad... this is the 20th century.
Gotta love the modern day bedouin shepherd!
Drove down 60... next stop "Crater."
Brought out the guitar and percussion.
Almost blown away... what a powerful wind for this frame.
Let our prayers and worship arise!
Magnificent sunset upon the cliff.
"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord."
On the road again.
Finished the day with some chocolate cake... I just might have had 2 pieces. :-D
Great fellowship from houses from N all down S of 60.
Highway to Holiness.
On the road again.
Pitch black night.
Stars twinkling in the sky.
How long it has been since I have seen the stars like this...
"Oh wait... I never have!"
Freeze me in this moment please!
Awesome testimonies from the day shared...
Song of Solomon coming into mind.
Doesn't it always?
What a beautiful day in the desert today...
Let's praise Him for the Beauty of His Faithfulness!

Writing on the Wall

what have we begun,
when we pray like this?
What have we done?
Can we ever know--
what seeds we sow
what lights we show
what dreams we throw?
here playing like kids
in danger places
atomic seeds
hidden graces
radiation
kingdom come, what have we begun?
here we see angels,
burning like the sun.
here we juggle destinies
what is this thing we've done?
what army gets commissioned
kneeling in this way?
What passion finds expression
when wounded soldiers pray?
are nameless heroes rising?
tomorrow's chosen ones
carriers of Jesus
What plague have we begun?
What dreamer writes upon the wall?
What wonders hem me in?
When we lit that three-way candle
What fires did we begin?

Tears

When all else fades away what remains?
When everything dies and darkness is despised
Heaven comes down

I see You standing there looking
Shoulder link hair waving in the breeze
Eyes full of compassion and intimacy
Eyes full of redemption
A Robe of white righteousness
So much love I can not describe flows through every part of me
Every crevice in these bones of humanity

I see You standing there looking at me
I see my reflection in those eyes
I see You, You see me
Reflecting perfectly
This is Love

With one gaze of love filled tears
With one gaze of love stained hands
Beckoning me to come "come and look at Me"
Beckoning me to come with Your Arms wide opened

I see You standing there
I see  You and You see me
A mirrored image from me to You, You to me
I see You, You see me
A mirrored image looking at You

Heaven come down     Heaven come down

I see You Father at the throne with Him
Perfected Love full of redemption
Justice and Righteousness are the foundation of Your throne
I see Father's Eye's full of Love, Compassion, Pain
I see me looking at Him through water filled eyes

A Father's tears full of love
A Lover waiting for His beautiful bride

For You say "I go to prepare a place for You.  
And I will come again and receive you to Myself.  
For where I am, You may also be."

The Father and the Son are High and Lifted up
Heaven is exalted with Love
The Angels sing Holy, Holy, Holy
The Lord God Almighty!!!

Holy, Holy, Holy,
Lord God Almighty!

The Father and the Son are High in the Heavens
I will wait in faith and pray and sing
I will pray in the Spirit, I will pray with the understanding
I will sing in the Spirit, I will sing with the understanding

Jesus come home     Jesus come home

A Father's tears full of love
A Lover waiting for His beautiful bride
Maranatha My Lord, My Lover, My Friend
Maranatha

Hawaiian Parable


A man goes out on the beach and sees that it is covered with starfish that have washed up in the tide.  A little boy is walking along, picking them up and throwing them back into the water.  "What are you doing, son?" the man asks.  "You will never make a difference."  The boy paused thoughtfully, and picked up another starfish and threw it into the ocean.  "It sure made a difference to that one," he said.

from glory to glory


I had this amazing revelation this morning as I was running on the treadmill.  It's funny how most of my revelations come when I am running.  I think I will continue to run with my bright green flashcards! 
"For it is God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." 2 Corinthians 4:6
I just began to pray this scripture and thank the Lord for separating the darkness from His first creation.  It's amazing that God's first creation and command was of light to shine out of darkness.  That out of darkness shown a beautiful light and then God separated the light from the darkness.  He saw that this was good.  What a beautiful thing that our Father-God would create light in the midst of darkness. In the midst of a darkened void came a beautiful light!  Then it goes on to say that God has shone this very light into our hearts so that this light, which is the very knowledge of all of His glory, which comes by seeking after the face of Jesus Christ.  We have this very light placed into our hearts by the Father by continuing to seek after knowing Jesus Christ.  By living a life of communion with Jesus, we obtain the knowledge of God's Glory.  Our Father's glory will be revealed to His children, by seeking relationship with His very Son. 
Card Switch:
"No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you."  John 15:5
Isn't it amazing? I am His friend.  Let me say this again... I am His friend.  He sees little me as His friend.  How much I love this beautiful Man! That He could love me so much to die for me and then to call me His friend is stunning!  I am reminded of these verses...
"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends." John 15:13 
"Set me as a seal upon your heart, As a seal upon your arm; For love is as strong as death, jealousy as cruel as the grave; Its flames are flames of fire, a most vehement flame." SOS 8:6  
May my Friend, my Love, be forever as a seal upon my heart, may my heart always be on fire for Him.  How He will forever be my strength and the seal upon my arm.  His Love endures for me beyond the grave and He is jealous for me.  He is jealous for my love, my devotion, my attention, and even my daydreams.  He has set His love upon my heart and my soul is this burning flame, a most vehement flame.   His Love won the grave and won my heart.  Let there be no compromise.  
"This is my Beloved, this is my Friend, O daughters of Jerusalem!" SOS 5:16
Flash card switch: 
"But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.  2 Corinthians 3:18
As I was running... I looked up and immediately saw my reflection running toward me, as I beheld my own image in the gym mirror... I imagined the image of Christ.  We always look at ourselves in a mirror and see the reflection of our human fimage.  We are called to come to Jesus and this is with an unveiled face.  Meaning that since the old law-the letter is gone (through Jesus' new covenant of blood that was shed on Calvary), we are now able to approach the very presence of God, through Jesus Christ.  The verse calls us to come as we are. We are called to come to Jesus with all of our baggage, with an unveiled face to look upon the glory of the Lord.  As we continue to seek after Jesus and have communion with Him in worship and prayer, then our baggage will become less and less due to the transformation that will take place, from glory to glory.  Its like this... the more and more you are around someone, you start to pick up their traits, their personality characteristics, things that they do become things that you also do.  So the more and more we continue to stare into the face of Jesus-the more we become like Him.  The more we look upon the glory of the Lord, the more we hold and carry the glory of the Lord...  from glory to glory.  I am His little glory!!! I can see it now...  He looks down from Heaven at me and speaks to the angels... “look there... (finger pointing), there’s my little glory! Do you see her? There’s my little glory!” Angels rejoice! :-)  
As I came back into focus in the mirror, I realized how much I tend to focus on my image in life and how much more I need to focus on the face of Jesus Christ.  I desire to behold His very image and to be more transformed into the likeness of Jesus Christ, while beholding His glory.  
I then was lead to the next bright green flashcard!
"Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You gave Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world." 
                                                                                                                                      John 17:23
 Its like this... Jesus is our inheritance.  We drop the things of this world to gain a beautiful inheritance in Christ Jesus ... and then we become transformed through His glory (glory to glory) and we become His inheritance!!!  Isn't it amazing that we are given to Jesus by the Father! I was given to Jesus by the Father.... wow! I can imagine the conversations now... 
"My Son please take this one, Nicole.  Let her learn from you, let her behold Your Glory which I gave to You.  Son I have loved You since before the creation of the world, take this very love that I have given You and give it to her.  Set the seal of My Love upon her heart that she may love You as I have loved You.  Son as You are at My Right Hand, she is seated with You in heavenly places.  Make her love us Son, from glory to glory."       
                                                      The Father
I was reminded of the verse...
"But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly place in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus."           
                                                                                                                                       Ephesians 2:4-7
As I began to run faster, I began to pray about my race in life.  I began to feel so much thankfulness to ward Father for giving me to Jesus and placing me in Heavenly places with Him, receiving a transformation from glory to glory and receiving a beautiful inheritance while becoming Jesus' inheritance, as well as the Father's.  I just began to thank Father for giving me Jesus and making Him my brother.  For the first time in my life I was able to call Father-Father and not Father-God.  For the first time, I completely understood the meaning of Father.  Not just the words, but for the first time I understood a glimpse of “Father”.  I felt the love of the Father pour down on me while running on that measly-black treadmill.  All alone in the gym, I was no longer alone.  The Father was there and my brother was there! I have read Matthew 12:49 over and over before and I have often questioned the complete meaning of Jesus being my brother.  Now I finally understood it!!! Jesus is my brother!!! Father-God is not just God, but He is my Father!!!  I am in a wonderful Family and I am loved, loved, loved.   I have a beautiful inheritance in Jesus Christ, while becoming a beautiful inheritance (from glory to glory) to the Son!!!  
"Who is My mother and who are My brothers?"  And He (Jesus) stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said,  "Here are My mother and My brothers!"  Matthew 12:49
  

This is my Beloved, 
This is my Friend, 
This is my Brother.
How great is Father's love!

All of this revelation took place on a measly-black tread mill early on a friday morning.  I think I will continue my early morning runs with bright green flashcards!

Psalm 91


Psalm 91

Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God
 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
    Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
    My God, in Him I will trust.”
        
 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
      And from the perilous pestilence.
 He shall cover you with His feathers,
      And under His wings you shall take refuge;
      His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
      Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
      Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
        
 A thousand may fall at your side,
      And ten thousand at your right hand;
      But it shall not come near you.
 Only with your eyes shall you look,
      And see the reward of the wicked.
        
 Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge,
     Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
 No evil shall befall you,
     Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
 For He shall give His angels charge over you,
      To keep you in all your ways.
 In their hands they shall bear you up,
      Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
      The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
        
  “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
      I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
      I will be with him in trouble;
      I will deliver him and honor him.
 With long life I will satisfy him,
      And show him My salvation.”

Love Me by loving them.

Love.
Sounds wonderful but at times it is so difficult.
I failed to love today.  Easily said. I failed in this department.
Let the frustrations of the day surround me and my emotions.
Let selfishness rise up and take control.  Like it's really all about me anyway?
How I am supposed to be this living light of love...  I fall short all too many times.
Teach me how to love. Teach me how to love the ones that seem so unlovable.
Let me not fear to love despite the circumstances that are faced.
Let not fear rise up and take control... for perfect love casts out all fear.
Let not anger rise up and take control... for anger works not the righteousness of God.
Jesus, help me be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.
Knock out my selfish tendencies and rise up the living flame... that You so loved me with.
How I was once dark, drugged, and ugly beyond measure.
You - A Beautifully Redeeming Man... came with arms wide open.
Loved me unconditionally and set Eternity into my Heart.
How You renewed my mind, my heart, my soul, my body.
You told me...
"Love Me.  Love Me with all of your heart, with all of your soul, with all of your strength... and love them."
Love them. Love them. Love them.
It rings... but help it cut deep.
I hear You saying... "Love Me by loving them."
How I have failed in this area.  Forgive me and teach me My Lord.
Jesus teach me. Teach me to love as You love.
Teach me to love without standard, without measure.
For You will say...  "Assuredly, I say to you inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My bretheren, you did it to Me."
Help me give all to all for Your Name's sake.
For what reward is there without love?
Thank you that Your compassions fail not, that they are new with me every morning.
You are faithful even when I am not.
Teach me to love.  Teach me to be more like You.

Prophets of Prayer

I had this random thought while driving today.  I was driving while singing my heart out to Jesus and all of a sudden I had this word placed into my mind... "prophet."  I just stopped and repeated it and asked the  Lord... "What do you mean by this?" Immediately I started thinking about the old testament prophets and how they proclaimed messages, decrees, and discipline upon Israel and the Nations.  I thought to myself... "Do we really have prophets of old today?"
Then the Lord spoke these words to me... "Prophets of Prayer."
I immediately was struck by Holy Spirit and joy!  I don't know why but I just started laughing so hard that I had tears in my eyes.  Father-God is so good.  I absolutely love how He speaks to me.  Randomly driving, screaming in worship, and not thinking about anything really biblical at the time.  Then He speaks so clearly that I can hear His voice, even in my soul...  "Prophets.  Prophets of Prayer," He says.  
Its like Father creeps up on us when we least expect it.  Like when you're a child and your mother or father is hiding behind something.  You know the parents are there but when they jump out they still scare you.  Its a kind of surprise and scare that the child loves, in which the child reacts with wanting more... "Do it again, please!" That's how Father-God creeps up on us... "Do it again, please!" :-)
Today, God is still raising up prophets.  These prophets are different from the old testament but not any less of importance.  He is raising up prophets to set decrees, shift the nations, change the atmosphere in regions and cities, and to be united with Him and His plans through prayer.  
He wants His children to have their hearts not in the world but in prayer for the world.  God is raising up a generation of "Prophets of Prayer."

Consecration

Your hands say my name
Your feet have taken away all this shame
You consume me     You consume me
Like a burning flame running through these veins
You consume me     You consume me

Yeshua come consume me
Yeshua come consume me
Yeshua     Yeshua

Its those hands that speak identity into me
Its those feet that have released Grace freely but yet so undeservingly
Its that crown upon Your brow that has given me honor in becoming Your daughter
Its that slashed side that has given me the water of life

I will come to the well that will never run dry
I will come to the water of life

You say: "Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters;
And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price."

Come to the well that will never run dry
Come to the water of life
Come to the well that will never run dry
Come receive eternal life

You paid the utmost sacrifice and I give You my whole life
Its in those hands and its in those feet and they scream me!
Nicole... Nicole... come and drink!

Come to the well that will never run dry
Come to this water of life
Come and drink and come and eat
Come receive all of Me

You paid the utmost sacrifice and I give You my whole life
You consume me     You consume me
Like a burning flame running through these veins
You consume me     You consume me

Yeshua come consume me
Yeshua come consume me
Yeshua       Yeshua

Its not about me but its all about You
Less of me and more of You
Dropp'n the popularity cause its not really hot anyway
rather have the burning flame flowing through these veins
It's not for fame but may it all be in Yeshua's Name

"Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in endless praise." -hymn

Come, Yeshua, come.
