Ruined!

Tonight was our prayer and worship night. As always it is simply amazing to be able to worship, sing, dance, and just to be in God's presence every Saturday night. To purposefully lay aside everything else just to worship the King of Glory!

I realized yet again that God has completely ruined me! His love has so captured my heart that nothing in this world can ever compare to Him. All I want to do is sing His praise continuously. I am in love with the God of the Universe and He is in love with me. There is nothing that could ever come close!

For the last few days the song "How Can I Keep From Singing" by Chris Tomlin has been running though my head. It is actually an old hymn that her and a few other guys adapted to be an Praise and Worship song. It is exactly the cry of my heart this week. So I thought I would share the lyrics with you.

There is an endless song
Echoes in my soul
I hear the music ring

And though the storms may come
I am holding on
To the rock I cling

How can I keep from singing Your praise
How can I ever say enough
How amazing is Your love
How can I keep from shouting Your name
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing

I will lift my eyes
In the darkest night
For I know my Savior lives

And I will walk with You
Knowing You'll see me through
And sing the songs You give

How can I keep from singing Your praise
How can I ever say enough
How amazing is Your love
How can I keep from shouting your name
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing

I can sing in the troubled times
Sing when I win
I can sing when I lose my step
and fall down again
Sing cause You pick me up
Sing cause You're there
I can sing cause You hear me Lord
When I call to You in prayer
Sing with my last breath
Sing for I know
That I'll sing with the angels
And the saints around the throne

Another cool thing that happened tonight is I found out about the Institute of Music, Worship, and the Arts. It is an accredited school that is just up in Bella Vista. I am seriously going to be praying and looking into maybe getting a Masters in Worship. I have thought about getting a masters for a while but could never decide what it would be in. I didn't want to have to write a thesis on a subject that I wasn't completely passionate about. However, I think a Masters in Worship is exactly my passion and I wouldn't mind spending that much time on something I am so passionate about.
