Because of His Love

Jesus You endured my pain Saviour You bore all my shame All because of Your Love Maker of the universe Broken for the sins of the earth All because of Your love All because of Your love Because of Your cross My debt is paid Because of Your blood my sins are washed away Now all of my life I freely give Because of Your love Because of Your love I live Innocent and Holy King Died to set the captive free All because of Your love Lord You gave Your life for me So I will live my life for You All because of Your love All because of Your love Because of Your cross My debt is paid Because of Your blood my sins are washed away Now all of my life I freely give Because of Your love Because of Your love I live You did it for me You did it for love It's Your victory Jesus you are enough You did it for me You did it for love It's Your victory Jesus You are enough You did it for me You did it for love It's Your victory Jesus You are enough Because of Your cross My debt is paid Because of Your blood my sins are washed away Now all of my life I freely give Because of Your love Because of Your love I live What a day! The lyrics above are from Phil Wickam's song Because of Your Love, which I was listening to on my way to my day camp site this morning. This week I've been serving at Loraley park with my awesome youth team from Dawson Street Baptist Church in Thomasville, GA. The first day, we were all blown away by the knowledge of the kids in attendance, especially one 7 year old boy, Cole. The team I had, team beta, was such a neat group. They realized the first day didn't go as hot as it could have, and they went home and thought about ways to make it better. Each day got better and better. Yesterday, I went a little early and spent some time praying over our site, and God just blew my mind in the big way He answered today! As I mentioned, my day started out with worship, beginning with the song mentioned above, and God continued to reign down all the rest of the day. I got to witness my youth team's leader, Johnathan, pray the prayer of salvation with our little Cole, and other members of the team also had the opportunity to share with some of our other little ones. It was a beautiful thing. This evening we were supposed to have a family evening program, but it got rained out. My team and I went to hang out with the youth anyway, and as we began to worship with them God showed up in a big way touching every single life in that room tonight. Those kids were broken and yielding their lives to God, and my prayer is that each one of us who was in that room who had the privilege to sit at the very feet of Jesus tonight will not walk away unchanged. We cannot experience Jesus in such a way and walk away unaffected and unwilling to live our lives differently. I pray that a revival will start with each of us and spread from us to the lives we touch around us; that those kids will go home and live the lives God has called to live. Pray with me that if God is going to start the summer out with such a big bang, that we can expect Him to continue working and moving in big ways all summer. My mind is just blown away by the way I've seen God today... Walking with Him each step of the way
