from the inside out
Jesus changes us
Heals us
Restores us
He is all we need, the One who satisfies the hunger in our souls
Freed from shame and guilt, grief and pain
He transforms
Alive, Innocent, Righteous, Accepted, Beloved
He calls me by a new name
No longer ashamed
But now His Daughter
from the inside out
He makes me new
I will live in the freedom He has given me
I will live in the newness He has won for me
I will live alive and loved
I open my arms wide, to embrace and choose His ways and His love and His grace
No longer far away but brought near
No longer weighed by my past
But now set free to be all He has dreamed me to be
from the inside out
never the same
you have won
victory is all yours
and though here on earth
day by day
i walk
i fight
i stand
i rest secure
not dismayed
not overcome
not defeated
because you have won
victory is all yours
chains are broken
weight is gone
darkness lightened
i walk it out
i fight from victory
i stand in the midst of the storm
i rest secure in the knowledge i am yours, that you love me, that you rule and reign
breakthrough is near
victory is all yours
i am your daughter
i am your heir
i walk in all you have purchased for me
God is my healer
He is my strength
lord
king
righteous one
saviour
here
what do you live for?
if we’re christians we live to know God and make Him known
and wrapped up in that is to be conformed to the character and heart of Jesus
to be like the Son
to demonstrate His love and grace on earth
witnesses
ambassadors
transformed
changed
growing
we sometimes focus so much on wanting to know “what we’re going to do when we grow up”
that we can forget the BE part
who will be BE
not just when we’re grown up
but right now
we live not for ourselves
but the glory of our God
who has ransomed and rescued us
redeemed us and recruited us
if you dont know the DOING part of what you’re called
then dont worry, you know the BEING part
Be like Jesus
love like Jesus
serve like Jesus
be transformed and conformed into the image of the Son
and from there you will flow
live for His fame
live for His name
never be ashamed
of who God is and what He is doing
never be ashamed of His Kingdom and His righteousness
and the plans and purposes He has for us
never bow to the lower standard
but continue to rise and stand for Jesus and holiness
you are a child of the King
a son or daughter of the most High God
chosen
purchased
redeemed
loved
God is gracious and compassionate
know that and live that
for faith and righteousness please God
live with an eternal perspective
and trust in Him and His love
you are a child of God
called
saved
forgiven
loved
you are a light
and the darkness tries to diss the light and diminish the light
let God’s voice be loudest
let His love be strongest
stand strong and firm for Jesus knowing that He is your sure reward
i am calling out to You
my Lord, my God, my strength, my Rock
in You i put all my hope
i call out to You with need
knowing You are always with me
always there
always for me
My Father, my refuge, my Saviour
i know You see
i know You hear
i know You are here
i am calling out to You
ever knowing Your love and kindness
ever seeking to know You more
my God, my shelter, my Shepherd, my King
i will call
i will see
i will hear
i will know
You are here
from the inside out
let me be all you dream me to be
let me be full of You
and Your ways
let my heart be soft towards You
let my life be fruitful for You
God, You’re after my heart, not just my behaviour
but let my life shine for You
a demonstration of love and grace
inside out
all the way through
my life a testimony
for Your glory
in my weariness i seek you
in my weariness i find you
in my weariness i am loved by you
in my weariness i rest in you
in my weariness i am healed by you
in my weariness i am comforted by you
in my weariness i find grace in you
thankful
grace filled
found
curled up in bed sick, but resting in your lovingkindness
am i aware
of the person next to me
on the street
in my class
standing there
my friend
a stranger
am i aware of what God is doing in their life
and how He may want to use me
am i aware or am i rushing, busy, self absorbed, distracted by my life
help me Lord
to have open eyes
and an open heart
that i wouldnt be living my own life
but available to shine and speak truth and Good News
the harvest is ready
where are the workers?
why are we not aware…
awaken my heart
come Holy Spirit
come
breathe in me
breathe on me
breathe through me
i stand here
awed and amazed
drawn by your grace and glory
the King and the Lamb who was slain
all for my sins beaten and pierced, crushed and punished
come
come Holy Spirit
that i may honour You with my words and who i am
that i may know You and make You known
breathe upon me Lord
i bow before You, awed and amazed
i belong to jesus
i am his
purchased
redeemed
paid for in full
i belong to jesus
oh how i am secure in that
oh how i am loved in that
i belong to him
may my life reflect that joy i have right now
may my life shout that to the world
he is so good so glorious
the king of glory
who stepped out of heaven to redeem us upon the cross
humbled king
broken king
broken and afflicted
for my sin and shame
resurrected and glorious king
triumphant in this purpose
so now
i can
draw near
belonging to him
won by him
saved by him
