A few weeks go, we introduced a song called “Lord You Have My Heart.” This week, we will sing it together as a congregation for the first time! Here are the lyrics again:
Lord you have my heart
And I will search for yours
Jesus take my life and lead me on.
Lord you have my heart
And I will search for yours
Let me be to you a sacrifice.
(men) And I will praise you Lord
(ladies) I will praise you Lord
(men) And I will sing of love come down
(ladies) I will sing of love come down
(men) And as you show your face
(ladies) Show your face
(together) We’ll see your glory here.
See you Sunday.
One recent summer, in a large urn that sits outside the front door of my house, a blue swift made a nest in which she laid six eggs. This beautiful, shy creature had made her home in (almost) my house. I felt privileged that I had been honored by her presence, even if my cat viewed it entirely differently.
If I felt privileged when a bird nested by my door, how much more privileged should I feel knowing that the Holy Spirit has taken up residence in me? Our hearts should well up with gratitude and song at the mere thought of it. It is staggering.
Some of us take photographs when distinguished guests visit our homes. I love to glance through a “Visitor’s Book” to see who has stayed in our home. On occasion I see the name of a well-known [person] or a dear friend. But none of this compares to having the Spirit permanently [dwell] in our hearts.

We’re going to flood Gainesville not-for-profits with volunteers ready to serve in the name of Jesus Christ.
My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
let the humble hear and be glad.
(Psalm 34:2 ESV)
