Summer Faith: Relentless to Blog

I am sorry I can't provide Thursday's Summer Faith post today. As I've said, I am still in school and will be until Wednesday, so I am busy with end-of-the-year stress, and faith posts take up a lot of time.

I'm sorry, and I was REALLY looking forward to making another faith post. But today I'll just go over what this summer will reveal.

This year's Speed the Light and Fine Arts Festival theme is "Relentless," so I'll be talking about ways to be relentless. I will be fasting, giving ideas, listing verses, and more. I hope it helps you grow in your faith.... else, what's the use of the faith posts?

In What I Do, I'm Relentless

In what I do,
I'm relentless
'Cause without You
I am nothing
I'm just a wandering soul here on this lonely earth
A desert in need of an oasis
Dry bones impossible to live again.
So all I ask is for You to fill me again
With Your love,
With Your grace
To be relentless for You
To show the world all the light on all this earth
The power of your love
It's real, it's true
It exists
It's You.
I'm relentless
Because You're relentless
You died
So I could live
And now You're alive
Alive in heaven
Alive in my heart
Because You're relentless to love me.

Dead to This World

Open my eyes.
Let me see the brokenness inside
The hearts of them,
The seven billion
That I never cared to reveal the love I've found to.
Too many times I've said "I believed" in the past tense
And didn't take the step to turn it into present.
I couldn't see what I was doing, I was blind to You.

Shut out the distractions.
Let me find what I'm missing inside
The empty soul,
The quiet ghost
That I left asleep in a dark room.
Too many times I've put You on a shelf and said "Maybe later"
When God, I know I need You now.
I couldn't hear Your callings, I was deaf to You.

Turn off my fears.
Make me fearless and give me the desire
To know what love is
To never break apart from You.
I don't wanna be the one to turn away but wow I came awful close
And who knows where I'd be if time closed on me.
I was too careful, I was dead to You.

I'm done.
I'm done with cookie-cutter Christian talk.
I'm done with not reading the signs.
I'm done with putting my beliefs on bookshelves
Like homework I don't care to do.
I'm done denying the truth.
No more hiding from the truth.
Because the truth is who You are and You are the truth,
Be my northern star and help my life reflect You.
Because I see You, You're my desire
And I am dead to this world,
Alive in what is higher.
