Walking with Jesus

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to walk beside our Saviour as He ministered to the sick, healed the lame, talked to the woman at the well, and so on? I've thought about it every so often and just wondered: what would it have been like? What would I have done when He came to my city, provided I lived in the Middle East. Could I say that I would accept Him into my home? That I would bring my loved ones suffering from sickness and disease to be healed? That I would have been there at the cross when He died?

Would I fall down and worship
Leave all that I treasured behind
For a chance to be closer to
The man who might
Be the One who saves my life
This song gives an idea of what it could have been like. Only a glimpse...

2000 Years
~~~
Travis Cottrell

If I could see
2000 years ago
Travel back in time
And walk in the day
When just one man
Turned the world upside down
Oh, Whoa

If I could be
A guest at the wedding
And taste the wine
That was water moments before
Would I realize what was really in store
That there would be so much more

Would I fall down and worship
Leave all that I treasured behind
For a chance to be closer to
The man who might
Be the One who saves my life

If I hear His voice
Call to Lazarus
Stand and stare as my friend stumbles
Out of the tomb

Or witness blind men
See their first morning sky
Would I believe what He says to be true

If I was there the night
Soldiers took Him away
Would I flee the scene
Like most of His friends
Then watch on the cross
What I thought was the end
What would I do then

Would I fall down and worship
Leave all that I treasured behind
For a chance to be closer to
The man who might
Be the One who saves my life

And what would it be like
After three days gone by
Would I believe what they said
Or wanna see with my own eyes
Put my hand on the scars
Only then realize
My Lord, my God, alive

Will I fall down and worship
Leave all that I treasure behind
For a chance to be closer
‘Cause He is still alive
And the One who saves my life

I'm at the point in my life where I don't know what to do anymore. Basically, I'm giving everything up to God, and I need Him to take control. I only pray that I will conform my will to His, and be willing to do everything He asks of me.


Ready For You

Lord, You take my heart away with Your love
and I am willing to put on my faith in Your plan.

Come and take my life.
Make my soul refreshed in truth now.

I am ready for You.
Take my heart and make me new now.
I am ready for You
to come and fill my soul.

Cleanse all of my mind that is not of You.
Break me, teaching me how to find rest in Your hands.

Come and take my life.
Make my soul refreshed in truth now.

I am ready for You.
Take my heart and make me new now.
I am ready for You
to come and fill my soul.
To come and fill my soul.

Whatever it takes,
I'm needing to make Your will be done
and I'm letting go of my control,
for I see what You've done in me.

I am ready for You.
Take my heart and make me new now.
I am ready for You
to come and fill my soul.
