The Pasture
 

Verse of the Day

For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

— Matthew 5:46-48
Pour Me Out

You are my King Your are my God Seeking those to work the harvest Lord pour me out

Can I accept the cost The burden of my cross Can I accept the loss If I'm not poured out

Pour me out Lord Pour me on Your alter Pour me out Lord A fragrant sacrifice pleasing to You A broken spirit and contrite heart A life left at the Cross Pour me out Lord Pour me out to serve only You

They say "Blessed are the feet That bring the Good News" But if I'm not poured out Well the workers are very few

Not mine own will Lord But Yours O' my God Take not the cup from me Lord pour me out!

Pour me out Lord Pour me on Your alter Pour me out Lord A fragrant sacrifice pleasing to You A broken spirit and contrite heart A life left at the Cross Pour me out Lord Pour me out to serve only You

Pour me out to serve only YOU... what a surrender this is!
I don't know if I'm that brave. I like your expression of this surrender to God.

 

Geneva, thanks for your comments on a few of my poems. It's a scary thing in a way to say, 'here Lord take all of me', but why should we be afraid when all He does is for our good. (see Isaiah 6:8, 26:8) These two verses have had a significant impact on me.
