'The art of losing myself' is a line from a song my son's band (I think they are currently, 'Fishers of Men' ) played tonight. I just grabbed it with my mind thinking, 'I know that, I want more of that!' Then I came home and read a really great poem about the same thing:)
But here's the worship song by Hillsong
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 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
I want that Light that makes all the 'dark black clouds hide'.
'Dedicating your life to fully knowing the oneness of God
in order to be so selfless that everything you do is aimed
at ending the suffering of all beings everywhere'...
giving over control to such an embrace
to be so consumed with Love that all else fades...
That's what I want, God and I guess that's just saying I want You.
Hosea 6:1
"Come, let us return to the LORD; for he has torn, that he may heal us; he has stricken, and he will bind us up.
6:2
After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him.
6:3
Let us know, let us press on to know the LORD; his going forth is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth."
Pressing on to fully know the LORD, means a constant returning to Him for healing and for strength. I am very thankful for Hosea 6:2 in the verses above. 'On the third day' is a reoccuring theme in the Bible. When I lived on a kibbutz in Israel, the kibbutz choir sang a song whose continuing refrain was, 'on the third day.'
There's one on the third day that stands out for me, and that was Jesus' promise to rise from the dead 'on the third day.' Jesus' defeat of death, his conquering sin, means He will raise us up that we may live before Him. His coming forth as sure as the dawn, a shower of blessing to us means that we can press on to know Him and He will respond to us.
You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world,but when you’re finished,you’ll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird…So let’s look at the bird and see what it’s doing - that’s what counts.I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something. ~Nobel Laureate Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988)
