Hi friends and family! I just introduced my second fundraiser of this crazy adventure that I am doing in the fall! I am selling stickers and tshirts with three very significant and meaningful words…
So Will I.
Many of you have probably listened to or heard of this worship song by Hillsong United. I encourage you to take a few minutes and read the lyrics below 🙂
“God of creation / There at the start / Before the beginning of time / With no point of reference / You spoke to the dark / And fleshed out the wonder of light / And as You speak / A hundred billion galaxies are born / In the vapor of Your breath the planets form / If the stars were made to worship so will I / I can see Your heart in everything You’ve made / Every burning star / A signal fire of grace / If creation sings Your praises so will I / God of Your promise / You don’t speak in vain / No syllable empty or void / For once You have spoken / All nature and science / Follow the sound of Your voice / And as You speak / A hundred billion creatures catch Your breath / Evolving in pursuit of what You said / If it all reveals Your nature so will I / I can see Your heart in everything You say / Every painted sky / A canvas of Your grace / If creation still obeys You so will I / If the stars were made to worship so will I / If the mountains bow in reverence so will I / If the oceans roar Your greatness so will I / For if everything exists to lift You high so will I / If the wind goes where You send it so will I / If the rocks cry out in silence so will I / If the sum of all our praises still falls shy / Then we’ll sing again a hundred billion times / God of salvation / You chased down my heart / Through all of my failure and pride / On a hill You created / The light of the world / Abandoned in darkness to die / And as You speak / A hundred billion failures disappear/ Where You lost Your life so I could find it here / If You left the grave behind You so will I / I can see Your heart in everything You’ve done / Every part designed in a work of art called love / If You gladly chose surrender so will I / I can see Your heart / Eight billion different ways / Every precious one / A child You died to save / If You gave Your life to love them so will I / Like You would again a hundred billion times / But what measure could amount to Your desire /You’re the One who never leaves the one behind.”
As you could see, there was one phrase that stuck out to me.
“If you gave Your life to love them so will I.”
This is something I will strive to do for the rest of my life. I am choosing to give up comfort, family, friends, my life–so that I can serve people. This phrase reminds me of my favorite day of the year, Easter Sunday. On Friday, the God of the Universe chose to give up His only and perfect Son. Jesus chose to bear all the sins of the world and die a painful death for me and you. Because of this incredible act of love, you and me are able to live a life full of freedom and redemption. I am choosing to give my life so that others can live a life for the Creator. This is it. This is the entire reason why I am here and this is my purpose – to lay down my life.
The stickers and tshirts are sweet reminders of what it means to follow Jesus and live a life for Him. So will I. Thank you for joining and supporting me on this incredible journey.
