Moments with Misty Edwards

Misty Edwards is an incredible Christian artist. She dedicated her life to touch the heart of God through song. I have recently been dwelling on the words of two of her songs. The titles are "You Won't Relent" and "Finally I Surrender" both off her album called "Relentless". "You Won't Relent" is about how the Lord pursue's us and how He does not stop until He has our whole heart. 


Here are the words...
You Won't Relent

You won't relent until You have it all
My heart is Yours

I'll set You as a seal upon my heart
As a seal upon my arm
For there is love that is as strong as death
Jealousy demanding as the grave
Many waters cannot quench this love

Come be the fire inside of me
Come be the flame upon my heart
come be the fire inside of me
Until You and I are one

The other is "Finally I Surrender" ("Surrender)

All I want is You to have Your way

You are the Potter and I am the clay

All I need is You to have Your way
You are Creator and I'm what You've made

Finally I Surrender

You are God I am man You are sovereign

This is a simple heart cry, but one we all need to make. It is in a place of abandonment, that He can take our lives and bring us to our real purpose. He knows how each one of us fits in to His plan. I want to "Surrender" my life to change the way He desires, even if those changes are difficult at times.


Pastor Jamey of "The House" in Burnsville talks about how we need to be exactly who He created us to be. He said, anything less would grieve His heart. I want to purse that complete Surrender. I want Him to be the "fire inside of me, the flame upon my heart... until He and I are one."
