"Rid me of myself..."

-
Savior I come
Quiet my soul remember
Redemption's hill
Where Your blood was spilled
For my ransom
Everything I once held dear
I count it all as lost

Chorus:
Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Oh Lead me, lead me to the cross

You were as I
Tempted and trialed
You were
The word became flesh
Bore my sin and death
Now you're risen
Everything I once held dear
I count it all as loss

Chorus

Bridge:
To your heart
To your heart
To your heart
Lead me to your heart

I absolutely love this song!  It speaks such strong words - "rid me of myself..." 

 This song reminds me of the John 3:30 which says, "He must increase, but I must decrease."

Good morning, blog family!  I am SO happy to share the questions to Kellie's  fun, and creative blog party!   I did this last year, and if you would like to read my answers, please  click here . <<<---Don't you just love this part in the movie?  I cry every time! :p I am composing/answering these questions with what read in 2014.  Next year it'll be with what I've read this year.  :)  Here are the questions and my answers. :)  Enjoy!   1. Introduce yourself! Divulge your life's vision, likes dislikes, aspirations, or something completely random! Well hello!  My name is Sarah and this is my second year attending Kellie's online party.  The first year  was SO much fun I just had to come back for more!  My life's vision is to honor and glorify my Savoir and King with everything that I say, think and do.  As I pray that part of God's will for me will include marriage and children, I am finding the grace and glory t

New moth, new verse

It is April (if you already haven't had a chance to take a glance at your calendar)!  This is random, but for some reason when each new moth rolls around I associate it with a color - weird, I know - and this is the list of months typed in the colors that I associate them with: January  February   March  April  May  June  July  August  September  October  November  December I know, it's really weird!  :p Back the post. :-) Part of my new year's resolution was to memorize a verse each month and reflect on it throughout the month. I am on my 4th memory verse of 2014!  :-) How did I decide which verses to memorize?  Well, my parents got my sisters and I a new, beautiful calender at the end of 2013 that was full of Psalm of praise. Each month has a verse, so I thought, "why not just memorize the verse that comes with each month?" That is what I am doing and it proves to be a pretty nice plan. :-) I share the KJV and YLT versions. Janua

"What God hath joined..." Part 1

So this post has been a long time coming - my brother and his new bride's wedding pictures!! The wedding took place in the beautiful sate of Kentucky (to which I had never visited until September of last year) the first weekend in May. Here are some pictures of the day before the Big Day. My sisters and their new friend enjoying lunch outside  while making silly faces. :) This was walking into the room in which they were to cut the cake - beautiful, isn't it?  The floors creaked when walked upon. Isn't this just lovely? My new sister in-law painted them herself - and did a fantastic job. Looking from the stone fireplace.  This is the back of the building.  It was actually an old house that it now used for a woman's club. The alter where Joseph and Emily will say "I do." A different angle. The lovely flowers.. All the groomsmen playing some  football before the rehearsal started. I love that this was the bachelo
