Empty my hands

I spent the drive to Florida and back being inspired and reminded just how much Jesus loves me. I listened to Knoxlife podcasts (which you can download here ) and a lot of really great music. Tenth Avenue North frequents the radio but I haven't really listened to them that much. Let me tell you, they are amazing! The lyrics are just so right on for the cry of my heart. Two songs are sticking with me the most, so I am going to do two posts about them. :)

Empty my hands...awesome song. Click the link below and listen. And read the lyrics. It's eerie sometimes when artists get the words so right. But also comforting to know you aren't the only one who is struggling.

I've got voices in my head and they are so strong
And I'm getting sick of this, oh Lord, how long
will I be haunted by the fear that I believe?
My hands like locks on cages
of these dreams I can't set free

But if I get let these dreams die
If I lay down all my wounded pride
If I let these dreams die
Will I find that letting go lets me come alive?

So empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with You
Oh empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with You

These voices speak instead and what's right is wrong
And I'm giving into them, please Lord, how long
Will I be held captive by the lies that I believe?
My heart's in constant chaos and it keeps me so deceived

But if I let these dreams die
If I could just lay down my dark desire
If I let these dreams die
will I find You brought me back to life?

So empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with You
Oh Lord, empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with You

Cause my mind is like a building burning down
I need Your grace to keep me keep me from the ground
My heart is just a prisoner of war
A slave to what it wants, and to what I'm fighting for

So won't you empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with You
Oh empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with You.

With You, with You.
I need You, I need You now my Lord.


Amen?? Let HIM capture your mind today and set you free from all that holds you down. He says He will never put anything heavy or ill-fitting on His kids. WE ARE FREE. Seek Him with all you have. And know that He is there, even in your heartbreak and struggling.
