Let My Heart be After You

I recently downloaded this song and it's stuck in my head, particularly the chorus.

Garden by Needtobreathe

Won't you take this cup from me?
because fear has stolen all my sleep.
If tomorrow means my death
pray you'll save their souls with it.

Chorus: "Let the songs I sing bring joy to you.
Let the words I say confess my love.
Let the notes I choose be your favorite tune.
Father let my heart be after you."

In this hour of doubt I see
who I am is not just me
so give me strength to die myself
so love can live to tell the tale.

Chorus: "Let the songs I sing bring joy to you.
Let the words I say confess my love.
Let the notes I choose be your favorite tune.
Father let my heart be after you."

Father let my heart be for you
For you
For you
For you

Chorus: "Let the songs I sing bring joy to you.
Let the words I say confess my love.
Let the notes I choose be your favorite tune.
Father let my heart be after you."

Next week we'll start sending adoption inquiries about specific girls we've bookmarked during our online searches. So my prayer is that the choices we make and the leanings we have during this next step of the adoption process would only be a function of our hearts being after you, Lord. We're looking for You while we look for her. So, please direct our steps. As Corrie ten Boom so perfectly put it, "Lord Jesus, keep me in Your will! Don't let me go mad by poking about outside it."

Ohh...great song, Kimmie. I've been meaning to ask you...a while back you posted about a CD or songs you had for the kids that were scriptures being sung. What song's where those? I'd love to download those.

Good timing - I was meaning to post a list of books and cd's we really come to appreciate.

The one you are asking about is called Songs for Saplings. When I got it, I couldn't find it on iTunes, but I just checked today and it IS there now. So good!
