I love Hillsong United….(for those that don’t know, this group is an awesome praise and worship band that is from Sydney, Australia….) Anyways, one of the reasons I love so many of their songs, is there worship songs say what I am feeling so well so often!

I love the lyrics to the song “From The Inside Out” and although I have listened to this song a thousand times, it has special meaning for me right now..

A thousand times I've failed
Still your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
Still I'm caught in your grace

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame

In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out


Your will above all else, my purpose remains
The art of losing myself in bringing you praise


Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Chorus 2x
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out Lord, my soul cries out

Last night as I listened to this song in my car, the highlighted parts really touched my heart….so much so that I just made that my prayer, “In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control…consume me from the inside out Lord…let justice and praise become my embrace to love you from the inside out. YOUR WILL ABOVE ALL ELSE, MY PURPOSE REMAINS..the are of LOSING MYSELF in bringing YOU praise…”
