Empty Me

Do you remember season 6 of American Idol and Chris Sligh was one of the contestants? He was the guy with the really curly hair? Have you heard his song, "Empty Me" on the radio? I know I've heard it several times, but yesterday, the Lord gently whispered to me to listen to the words. Oh my goodness. The words are my desire. I want to be emptied of my selfishness. Every vain amition and the poison of my pride. Y'all, we need to be filled with Him! I long for that! Here are the lyrics and I've posted a link on the side to the right so you can listen to it. Just push play and sing along with the lyrics. Make it your prayer.

I've made it mine.

Empty Me
I've had just enough of the spotlight when it burns bright
To see how it gets in the blood.
And I've tasted my share of the sweet life and the wild ride
And found a little is not quite enough. I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change.

Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride A
nd any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me so I can be filled with you.

I've seen just enough of the quick buys of the best lies
To know how prodigals can be drawn away.
I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change.

Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me so I can be filled with you.

Cause everything is a lesser thing
Compared to you, compared to you.
Cause everything is a lesser thing compared to you.
So, I surrender all!
Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me so I can be
Lord empty me of me so I can be filled with you.
Oh, filled with you. Empty me.
