Sold Out Love

I Will Love You by Robert Pierre


When I think of all You are,
In my life and in my heart,
No words can say what I feel.

Cause if anything is true,
It's what I have found in You,
Lord, to me, there's nothing so real.

And though there is no way I can repay You,
I'll give You whatever You want.

I'll live a life that says You give me every song,
With my every breath I'll make Your mercy known,
With every soul on earth or all alone; I will love You, I will love You.

Angels see You face to face,
If I could I'd take their place,
And pour out my heart to You.
But what they don't understand,
Is to know Your grace first hand,
How it feels to love like I do.

You bring me to my knees with Your kindness,
Lord, there's nothing I can hold back.

I'll live a life that says You give me every song,
With my every breath I'll make Your mercy known,
With every soul on earth or all alone; I will love You, I will love You.

With everything I am,
And everything I have,
I dedicate myself,
To doing one thing well.

I will love You.
With my every breath I'll make Your mercy known,
With every soul on earth or all alone; I will love You, I will love You.

I'll live a life that says You give me every song,
With my every breath I'll make Your mercy known,
With every soul on earth or all alone; I will love You, I will love You.
I will love You.
I will love You. 




This song is absolutely amazing! I want to be like this--completely sold out to God. But am I?


I'll be honest. There are plenty of times I do something I want to do when I should be spending time with God. Like listening to music or doing something on the computer or getting a snack. Sometimes I'm praying and then I find that I've drifted from talking to God to talking to myself. That happens a lot actually. So instead I listen to music while I'm falling asleep rather than talk to the One Who should be my Best Friend, the One Who deserves all my love.


I find myself caring more about what other people think of me than what my Savior and Creator thinks of me. And that's dangerous.


And I know I'm guilty of holding stuff back from God. Like the song says, we can't possibly repay God for all He's done. But there are things we can do through His strength to please Him and bring glory to Him. Like witnessing.


And I'll admit it. I have such trouble talking to people about Christ. Even just giving God the credit for some talent. I'll think, "Oh, that person is probably not a Christian and won't understand." But that's kind-of the point. Other believers aren't the ones who need to hear me acknowledge God as the One Who gives me my abilities. I can just tell myself that I'm not talkative around people I don't know well (which is true--"I do not have the talent of conversing easily with people I have never met before."-Mr. Darcy :). But does that give me an excuse?


Winning souls brings God more joy than anything else we can do for Him. If we truly and unreservedly love Him, how can we do anything less? How can you? How can I? How dare we keep the message of the only way to escape from the impending doom that awaits the lost all locked up inside ourselves because we'd rather not stick our necks out too far? Just imagine your unsaved family, friends, and even acquaintances being tormented in Hell for all eternity, realize that you have the responsibility to tell them about Christ--the One and only Way to Heaven, and go fulfill the Great Commission. It's time to stop being passive Christians!


Let's wake up and do what God has called us to do. Or... maybe we just don't really love Jesus enough to live our lives fully dedicated to Him. The choice of whether or not you decide to change is yours alone to make.


"The greatest contribution of all--the only one that will stand through eternity--is to have a part in bringing an immortal soul into the kingdom of God."-Clyde M. Narramore


Jesus, "with everything I am, And everything I have, I dedicate myself to doing one thing well. I will love You."
