Full Attention by Jeremy Riddle
(turn your speakers up...its playing!)
May Your voice be louder
May Your voice be clearer
Than all the others
May Your face be dearer
May Your words be sweeter
Than all the others in my life
Please keep my eyes fixed on You
Please root my heart so deep in You
Keep me abiding, keep me abiding
Keep me abiding that I may bear fruit
May Your your presence be truer
May Your presence be nearer
Than all the others
And may Your light shine brighter
And may Your love move deeper
Than all the other my God
Than all the others in my life
Please keep my eyes fixed on You
Please root my heart so deep in You
Keep me abiding, keep me abiding
Keep me abiding that I may bear fruit
Please keep my eyes fixed on You
Please root my heart so deep in You
Keep me asking, keep me near
Keep me abiding that I may bear fruit
Keep me close to You
Oh, right next to Your heart
Close to You
A friend of mine sent me this song yesterday...oh mercy, I fell in love with it after the first line...and not that you care but, its in my favorite key...
Oh how I love a sweet song in the key of A!
I immediately felt my heart jump all over this melody line and lyrics.
The recent events of my life have proven to provide an overload of thoughts, feelings and emotions that at times has led to much confusion. Many people giving advice (some I've asked for, others not as much so...), encounters that seem unusual, internal voices coming from every direction, an awareness of things that I've not seen in a long time.
My prayer has become this song...may my Fathers voice be louder and clearer than any others. May His presence be the truest and closest thing I know.
May I remember that His love is the deepest love there is!
And that He is the only place that is safe to anchor the roots of my life.
Therefore my place in this crazy "single" world...is right next to His heart!
My purest desire is to be found there, snuggled up in the arms of my Savior where I can clearly hear every beat of His heart!
This song entered my life just at the right time...thank you Lord for your hand that is at work and the healing that I know is to come! You have my Full Attention!

Jill,
Hey girl. I'd ask how you are but it doesnt seem appropriate. I think of you often and wished there was something I could do for you all. Your words rain with pain, disappointment and lonliness, BUT I also hear such hope, love, faith and trust. I want to have that 'relationship" you have with our father, I cant seem to get there. I listen but dont seem to hear. Your journey has been a testament and guides me to seek a more intimate relationship with God. I'm almost finished with "No wonder they call him Savior". What an experience to place yourself at his feet during the most selfless event in this worlds history. WOW
I want you to know that you are an encouagement to any woman who may be traveling this long difficult road called " life change". I know that you will weather this storm with grace and
the Lord will bless your faithfulness may times over. Keep growing, always listening to him.
I miss you my friend.
Lisa
