Emptied to be Filled
May 12, 2011
reflectinghisradiance
You tenderly erode the walls of stone I build.
You peel back every mask.
You strip away all that I think fulfills.
You uproot every plant that would hold me back from receiving You.
In the hole that remains, you long to outpour
A love I can’t fathom.
You wait, desiring my “Yes.”
You show my heart who you are:
Love. Perfect, complete, satisfying love.
Only help me receive.
Wreck each foundation, remove every wall
That keeps me from receiving
All that You are, the love You bestow.
So here with my heart, I come to your feet.
And all that it holds, I pour on the altar.
With nothing inside, I come to Your River.
I long to be filled in the depths of Your love.
Ready I come, empty, so I can receive,
Nothing but You, Jesus my Love.
