Happy Birthday to me

I'm very very tired but cannot sleep. So I find myself posting again, only is almost 3 a.m. Oh well.

I've mentioned before my love of the artist group Casting Crowns and lately I've been finding myself drawn especially to the lyrics to the title track of their second CD, Lifesong. One of my favourite verses in Psalms says "I will sing to the Lord because he has dealt bountifully with me." Anything God does for us is undeserved so how can I keep from singing? The words to the song are as follows:

Empty hands held high
Such small sacrifice
If not joined with my life
I sing in vain tonight

May the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to You

Let my lifesong sing to You
Let my lifesong sing to You
I want to sign Your name to the end of this day
Knowing that my heart was true
Let my lifesong sing to You

Lord I give my life
A living sacrifice
To reach a world in need
To be Your hands and feet

So may the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to You

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Let my lifesong sing to You

And the last song of the CD is called And Now My Lifesong Sings. Again, the words:

I once was lost, but now I'm found
I once was lost, but now I'm found
So far away, but I'm home now
I once was lost, but now I'm found
And my lifesong sings

I once was blind, but now I see
I once was blind, but now I see
I don't know how, but when He touched me
I once was blind, but now I see

And now my lifesong sings
And now my lifesong sings
And now my lifesong sings

I once was dead, but now I live
I once was dead, but now I live
Now my life to You I give
Now my life to You I give
Now my life to You I give

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Let my lifesong sing to You

With birthdays and all leading to life reflections I find myself hoping that my lifesong sings.
