More About How Part 2

In my previous "More About How" blog I talked about how I learned that Christianity is more about the attitude behind what we are doing rather than what we are doing. I thought I understood it then. But God is just now showing me what that was really all about. I've been doing some things that are new to me and I couldn't figure out if I should or not. Today I finally figured out that its not what I'm doing or not doing, but my attitude and motivation that's behind it all. If only this lesson would have clicked a couple weeks ago when God first tried to teach it to me. Well, this is life, we live and learn, it hurts sometimes, but the adventure makes it exciting. I wonder what's around the next corner.

Hurricane

I have built a city here
Half with pride and half with fear
Just wanted a safer place to hide
I don’t want to be safe tonight

I need You like a hurricane
Thunder crashing, wind and rain
To tear my walls down
I’m only Yours now

I need you like a burning flame
A wild fire untamed
To burn these walls down
I’m only Yours now
I’m only Yours now

I am Yours and You are mine
You know far better than I
And if destruction’s what I need
Then I’ll receive it Lord from Thee

Yes, I’ll receive it Lord from Thee

And it’s Your eye in the storm
Watching over me
And it’s Your eye in the storm
Wanting only good for me

And if You are the war
Let me be the casualty
‘Til I’m Yours alone

I am only Yours
I am Yours alone, Lord
