Keith to Melissa

This is my prayer and constant song.. First sung by the amazing and wonderful Keith Green and now beautifully and earnestly done by Melissa How..

Oh Lord, You are Beautiful,
Your face is all I see..
And when Your eyes are on this child
Your grace abounds to me!

I wanna take Your Word and shine it all around.
First help me just to live it, Lord
And when I'm doing well help me to never seek a crown,
for my reward is giving glory to You.

Oh Lord, please light the fire,
That once burned bright and clean.
Replace the lamp of my First Love,
The burns with holy fear.


I am sometimes, most days, actually..a mess.
I love that God's Word can come in and make that clear and also clear up any premonitions I had of how to clean myself up. Here's some quotes from today's chapel where a scholar of the Word rolled out something tasty for us..

"That which would keep you from having Him is yourself. So you must get rid of self."
We need to follow the example that Christ left for us..
"Christ died to Himself in the garden. Before He was chained to a cross or anyone laid hands on Him....'Not My will, but Yours be done.'"

Die daily and take up your cross, Malia.
