Its been my prayer for a while to have a greater capacity to love; today I fell upon the same subject in prayer again with God, and I was more fervent this time. I asked Him to just wreck my heart. Rip it open and love like He loved.
The title has different meanings. Its meant to reach a different number of people. Upper case "Y" meaning God. Lower case meaning a second party. "Ours" meaning this ours to share.
There opening statement is a spin off of the quote from G.K. Chesterton "In response to the question: "What is wrong with the world; I am. Yours truly, G.K. Chesterton".
The phrase "we need a savior" is from a sermon by Ravi Zacharias on the "Lostness of Man"
The phrase "Be ruthless and cruel" is from a poem called "When God wants a man"
namely this part of it:
When God wants to drill a man and thrill a man and skill a man...
When God wants to mold a man to play the noblest part;
When He yearns with all His heart to create so great and bold a man that all the world shall praise...
Watch His methods;
Watch His ways!
How He ruthlessly perfects whom He royally elects...
How He hammers him and hurts him,
And with mighty blows converts him
Into frail shapes of clay that only God understands. How his tortured heart is crying and he lifts beseeching hands...
How he bends but never breaks when His good he undertakes.
How He uses whom He chooses...with every purpose fuses him;
By every art induces him to try His splendor out...
God knows what He's about!
This is the song that came out of it; thanks to Collin and Lauren Froese for the help.
Y/y:ours
I am whats wrong with everyone
all of the problems point to me
what is missing in the world?
someone to save, we need a savior.
I need a savior.
Fix me
I need to be able to love
open wide my heart, its made for bigger things
I was made to love the broken
heal the hurting, light the lost
open wide my heart
Deny myself
everything I have, I am, I'm Y/y:ours
one in myself my heart is small
but when I love for something bigger than myself
I become undone
Fix me
I need to be able to love
open wide my heart, its made for bigger things
I was made to love the broken
heal the hurting, light the lost
open wide my heart
Be ruthless and cruel in my transition
use me to reflect Your love
not out of habit, but because you've freed me-
freed me to love, continue to
Fix me
I need to be able to love
open wide my heart, its made for bigger things
I was made to love the broken
heal the hurting, light the lost
open wide my heart
*I hope this blessed you in some way :)
