"Start With Me"
You are air to desperate lungs
Water falling on the sand
Silence to an angry storm
Sight to a blind man
You are air to desperate lungs
Water falling on the sand
Silence to an angry storm
Sight to a blind man
You're still the God of miracles
So if You're gonna move again
would You move in me?
Move in me
You're the beat to a broken heart
Bread for a hungry crowd
In one word from Your voice rings out
And the dead of the grave close down
Because You're still the God of the empty tomb
The one who came alive again
So come alive in me
Come alive in me
Come alive in me
Come alive in me
My life is an empty cup
Fill it up, fill it up!
I wanna hear every rescued heart cry
You're enough, You're enough!
Break what needs breaking
'Til You're all we see
Start with me, start with me
Whose arms hold the fatherless?
Whose voice do they hear?
Who sits with the prisoner
And stands for the one who fear?
You're still the God of what is just
And You're still the God who loves
So would You love through me
Love through me yeah
Come and love through me
Would You love through me, yeah
My life is an empty cup
Fill it up, fill it up!
I wanna hear every rescued heart cry
You're enough, You're enough!
Break what needs breaking
'Til You're all we see
And start with me, start with me, yeah
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
Lord let it be
Let it start with me, start with me
Yes, Your kingdom come
And Your will be done
Oh Lord let it be
Let it start with me, start with me
Yeah, start with me, start with me
My life is an empty cup
Fill it up, fill it up!
I wanna hear every rescued heart cry
You're enough, You're enough!
Break what needs breaking
'Til You're all we see
And start with me, start with me,
Yeah start with me, start with me
Yeah
I'm a lover of lyrics. I could stay up all night listening to songs as the words fill my heart. Lyrics take me on a journey. Before I know it, it's 4am and I'm still awake riding on beautiful ribbons of poetic words.
This song in particular has been ministering to me greatly. Life has a way of breaking us in the most intimate ways. But it's in the brokenness that God comes alive in us. When we think we've been broken enough and can't go on we see there is yet more work to be done. Brokenness allows His light to shine through us. I'm learning to embrace the process each broken piece brings. Break what needs breaking, Lord, till you are all we see.
