Empty Words

Sometimes my brother and I like to have spontaneous jam sessions. He busts out the guitar and I bust out into a prayer through song. Here is one that we had recorded on our phones just in case any good song lyrics were to come out of the spontaneity. This time, just a prayer that I pray constantly:

Lord, I come to You

Heal my heart and make me new

Lord I want to worship You

With everything I say 

With everything I do 

Don't let these be empty words

Don't let my heart grow weary

but when it does and if I do 

I will remain in the state of praising You

My God I will praise You

Through the hard times and through the pain

through all my tears you bring the rain

and put a smile on this humbled face

thank you Jesus

Don't let these be empty words

I wanna praise You

I wanna praise You

God, You are the maker of all things new

& You are working to make me whole in You

Jesus come be my words*

Jesus come be my actions*

Please don't let anything I say 

Be empty words but use me everyday

in every way in every single thing I say

Jesus use me, make useful to 

the Kingdom of our God and Savior

Kingdom of our Lord 

Thank You Jesus that I'm an heir of yours

One day coming to live with You

In my home where there's no more empty words

Jesus make me whole in You

Clean my heart, clean my mind, clean my soul

Don't let me use any empty words

But only praise You in everything I do

Absolutely everything I do

Use me Jesus

Work through me 

Use me God

to further Your love.

Comforting scripture about His timing:   Acts 1:6-8

So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, "Lord, is it at this time You are restoring Israel?"
He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or epochs[1] which the Father has fixed by His own authority; but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth."

*I changed a few words as I have listened again, and written it out as a daily prayer of mine. Side note, I love rain and we were outside on the porch swing (in the middle of a kind of rough day) I prayed on my way over to the swing that the Lord would just bring something wonderful to that day…and rain! (0: He is so good to provide for our every need and in just the perfect timing. His timing which is fixed by His authority. Isn't that just so wonderful! (0:
