Music Monday again, folks! Am pleased to share this song Commission My Soul by Citipointe Live. It's a recent favorite of my teenage sons who let me listen to their collection of Christian songs. My prayer for everyone is to be blessed! Happy MM!
Commission My Soul

You bled with one desire

In all to bring new life

To a shattered humanity

Death now overcome

Forgiving all and one

You’ve redeemed all humanity


With all our lives we now stand

Declaring loud that

Jesus is God who saves

Commission my soul

With a fire uncontrollable

For this great cause

To save the lost

Open my eyes

To the reason I’m alive, oh’ Lord

I’m ready now

I’ll follow You

Abandon all to be

Your voice, Your hands, Your feet

My life a living sacrifice

Spirit empower me

To set the captives free

My life is an offering

With all our lives we now stand

Declaring loud that

Jesus is God who saves

Commission my soul

With a fire uncontrollable

For this great cause

To save the lost

Open my eyes

To the reason I’m alive, oh’ Lord

I’m ready now

I’ll follow You

Open the heavens wide

Open the heavens wide

Open the heavens wide

Pour out Your Spirit on us

Have you ever witnessed a skilled craftsman going into an old broken down home and restoring it into something fabulous? God is the master of restoration, taking the broken and damaged and making them beautiful. Are there some things in your life that could use a little work? Allow yourself to be God's next fixer upper project.

Thoughts to Ponder

You can find meaning in the storm

At times everyone goes through trials and tribulations. Seek out someone else in a similar situation and give them an encouragement or just a hug. Find meaning in the midst of your struggles by helping another in similar straits.

Voice of Truth by Casting Crowns

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes to climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves

To step out of my comfort zone
To the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out his hand

But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again. 'Boy, you'll never win!'
"You'll never win"

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
And the voice of truth says "Do not be afraid!"
And the voice of truth says "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a Sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again "boy, you'll never win!
"You'll never win"

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them looking down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me

I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth.
