This was the most effort I've ever put into a post! I actually made the video (and I've never made a video before. It's not fancy or even good. I'm a total novice...listen to the words, ignore the video quality.) just so you all could hear the song I've been obsessing over all day long. (If you're interested check out Foxes Have Foxeholes on facebook)
The theme of the song is that since Jesus bought us with a price, and God created all of us, we belong to Him. We should want to follow Him with reckless abandon.
God Almighty, I am so struck with awe of Your wonder, power, and love. To think that You who created me would come down to give Yourself as a ransom for my sin is just amazing. Oh Jesus, You did nothing wrong, yet You gave up Your life so that I may be brought into union with the Lord. You used Your blood to purchase my heart, and Lord, You certainly have captured me with Your mighty grace. God, I want to follow You. I want to go where You go, and where You need to be. I want everyone to know the love You have for all of us. My heart warms and my eyes brim every time I think about that kind of love, which is often. To You I give my heart and in You, I exist and have my being. You are worthy, Lord, of all of my praise and worship. Forever in Christ, Amen.
You shall be My people, and I will be your God. Jeremiah 30:22
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. Colossians 2:6-10
