Spirit of the Living God
Fall afresh on me.
Melt me,
Mold me,
Fill me,
Use me,
Spirit of the Living God
Fall afresh on me.
Tony Campolo. i heard him speak a couple of times this weekend and each time God tore at my heart. the last time i heard him speak after his prayer he started to sing the song above and it was so powerful and beautiful. He is so beautiful. He is so honest. He spoke of poverty and being a red letter christian and our culture of consumerism, and hearing him speak was like hearing the words of God. I imagine I felt how the Israelites felt when Moses would come down from the Mountain and tell them what God says. a sense of awe and admiration and fear. In a way tony scares me because it's obvious he and God are tight, but he is so humble admitting his shortcomings and knowing that God is still molding him into who he is created to be.
this last weekend in Charlotte was a difficult one for me. very emotionally draining and physically as well. i felt like we were constantly attending seminars and general sessions, because we were. there were just so many amazing speakers i and nobody else wanted to miss. there was not one day though that God did not tear at my heart about someone or some issue. I mean the first night we were there we went and listened to Leeland and their song Tears of the Saints which i have heard several times before; this time tore me up. it is such a powerful song. I heard God speaking to me this weekend, and hearing Him and His word makes me cry; maybe because it's been so long since i have actually opened my heart to hear Him. i will write more about the weekend later, because i also got to meet another person who has impacted my life and challenged me, Shane Claiborne. that is another blog though. peace.
