When the music fades and all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the things I've made it
When it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
King of endless worth, no one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor, all I have is Yours
Every single breath
Matt Redman, "Heart of Worship" ["http://www.stlyrics.com/songs/m/mattredman20504/theheartofworship929505.html"]

Church was great this morning. I was reminded of what I had been missing for the last couple weeks, since I didn't go last Sunday (apparently they don't have churches in SW Minnesota), and Bible Study has not been in session recently. This morning we had some excellent worship, with some heart-rendering hymns (like the one I just posted), and some majorly important biblical lessons (but hey, aren't they all?). Plus we were treated to some awesome piano-playing by a gospel musician.
This weekend I hosted a wrestling prospie, and another guy that I thought was a prospie but happened to be a student here at St. Olaf. Oops.
I will be doing some intense praying this week. I learned of something rather life- changing over the last few days, and I'm not sure how to deal with it. At some point, when it is comfortable, I will let the rest of the world know.
I've been writing more music. I'd been debating whether I really wanted to be a composer anymore, but I know that if I can keep my life going then things will be fine.
I would like to move at the same speed as life (i.e. God), but it will take quite a bit of work.
