Song #1 - From the Inside Out

Like posting a fact once every Saturday, I am deciding to post a song every Wednesday that has greatly blessed or touched me over the past few years. Each song posted on this blog will be used to glorify and magnify the name of Christ, because He alone is Worthy to be praised and He alone is to be Glorified above every other thing. That is my first and foremost goal. My second goal is to encourage you, my followers and friends, to draw into a more deeper and personal relationship with the God of the Universe. My prayer is that we would all literally fall in love with Him. Put off the things of the flesh and follow wholeheartedly after Christ. He deserves our praise, adoration, and worship; but He wants us to have a personal relationship with Him. That is the climax of the Christian faith. O.K., I have been rambling a bit here, but I will give you the lyrics of the song, dissect those lyrics by writing a little bit about the song, and add only that song to my first playlist. I will change the song on the playlist each and every week to match with the song that I just posted about. Hopefully, you all understand what I am trying to say here.

The first song, From the Inside Out, is my favorite Hillsong song. If you have never heard of Hillsong before, their music is wrapped with theological content that inspires and motivates the soul to worship the one true, living God of all. I hope that you are blessed by this song as much as I have been blessed by it. Also, this time, I will not dissect the lyrics because time is limited, but the lyrics crucially display that our consuming love for God inside of our souls should result in the magnificent display of His glory to those around us. It is a beautiful thought of what God could do if we surrender our all to Him.



From the Inside Out
By: Hillsong

A thousand times I've failed
Still your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
Still I'm caught in your grace

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
my heart and my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Your will above all else, my purpose remains
The art of losing myself in bringing you praise

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Chorus 2x
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out Lord, my soul cries out
