We sang this on Sunday. And as we were singing it, I had to admit to God that it wasn't true for me.
Yet.
But I want it to be.
And all of You
Is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough
More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me.
And they followed it with a musical version of Psalm 84, the 10th verse of which I've quoted to myself often. Yeah, as if I really lived like that. :(
But I have wanted to. And have tried to convince myself of the truth of it. And still try. Often.
Maybe someday, I'll get there. Maybe on the last day, but.. I hope it will be a lot sooner.
Psalm 84
For the director of music. According to gittith. Of the Sons of Korah.
1 How lovely is your dwelling place,
O LORD Almighty!
2 My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the LORD;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.
3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,
O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.
Selah
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca,
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
7 They go from strength to strength,
till each appears before God in Zion.
8 Hear my prayer, O LORD God Almighty;
listen to me, O God of Jacob.
Selah
9 Look upon our shield, O God;
look with favor on your anointed one.
10 Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
the LORD bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.
12 O LORD Almighty,
blessed is the man who trusts in you.
