You Can Have Me

I heard this song on the radio right after I got home from China and I was in tears driving (not safe I know) because it just explained my life perfectly. We have this idea I think where we think that we have to do what society wants us to do. Would we give up everything to follow Christ? "Forgetting what the world has told, Father you can have me."  Wow.... that's a lot to think about. I think sometimes we don't realize what a hold the world does have on us. But then to give it all up to follow Jesus.... that's a lot to take in.

 

 

"You Can Have Me lyrics" by Sidewalk Prophets

If I saw You on the street
And You said come and follow me
But I had to give up everything
All I once held dear and all of my dreams
Would I love You enough to let go
Or would my love run dry
When You asked for my life

When did love become unmoving?
When did love become unconsuming?
Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love, You can have me
You can have me

If You're all You claim to be
Then I'm not losing anything
So I will crawl upon my knees
Just to know the joy of suffering
I will love You enough to let go
Lord, I give you my life
I give you my life
When did love become unmoving?
When did love become unconsuming?
Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love, You can have me
You can have me
I want to be where You are
I'm running into Your arms
And I will never look back
