All I Have

{My favorite CD we got around Christmas time last year.  I just LOVE it. We bought it at our local Family Christian Stores and every one sold went to International Justice Ministries for the cause against slavery. I don't think they are carrying the CD anymore but have seen used copies on Amazon (here). The songs on this CD are ALL amazing and total resonate James 1:27 and Isaiah 1:17. One of my favorites is from Tenth Avenue North and I wrote out the lyrics below and a link to the song. Check it out and really ponder the words.} 

All I Have
Tenth Avenue North


Forgive me,
Lord for thinking
You would ever need me
Could you ever need me? 
Cause you spoke me into this existence
So why do I resist this?
What is it I cant let go?
Cause all I have is Yours, O Lord
Yes, all I have is Yours


You are Lord of all creation 
Author of salvation
Where else can I go?
Cause even this breath that I am taking 
You have given to me
There's nothing I can call my own
Cause all I have is Yours, O Lord
Yes, all I have is Yours
Oh, all I have is Yours, O Lord
Yes, all I have is Yours


And all I have is what You give me 
What You give is more than I need
So open my hands to give back freely 
The same way You've given to me
All I have is what You give me 
What You give is more than I need
So open my hands to give You freely 
The same way You've given to me


That all I have is Yours, O Lord
Yes, all I have is Yours


All I have, is Yours O Lord
Yes, all I have is Yours


All I have is Yours
All I have is Yours

I just love the part that says 

"And all I have is what You give me 

What You give is more than I need

So open my hands to give back freely 

The same way You've given to me" 

Our money, talent, resources, time, and energy is not our own. We have been blessed so that in return we can go and bless others.  We truly do have more than we need, way more the the majority of the world. Our brothers and sisters across the globe are suffering and we have been given SO much. Praying and seeking what this looks like for our family. 

“The King will reply, 

Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of 

these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."

Matt 25:40
