I Pray To Be Only Yours

Let it be known. I'm not usually a huge fan of Nicholas Sparks. I'M NOT A FAN OF NICHOLAS SPARKS. But I do have a soft spot in my heart for A Walk to Remember. While watching this movie the other week, I fell in love with the song "Only Hope" all over again. The lyrics of this song struck me. It's so beautifully powerful, if the recipient is God! It's actually the only way the song makes sense. I'm including the lyrics and the song itself here. Read and pray the song to Him. It's wonderful!

There's a song that's inside of my soul.
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over and over and over again.

So I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only Yours. I pray to be only Yours.
I know now You're my only hope.

Sing to me the song of the stars,
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again.
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again.

So I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only Yours. I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope.

I give You my destiny.
I'm giving You all of me.
I want Your symphony singing in all that I am.
At the top of my lungs, I'm giving it back.

So I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only Yours. I pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope.

My Thoughts Entirely

Sister Friends

"To have a woman friend is to relax into another soul and be welcomed in all that you are and all that you are not. To know that as a woman, you are not alone. Friendships between women provide a safe place to share in the experiences of life as a woman. It is a great gift to know that you see as another sees, an immense pleasure to be understood, to enjoy the easy companionship of one you can let your guard down with. Friendship is a great gift. One to be prayed for and not taken for granted. When God gives a friend, He is entrusting us with the care of another's heart. It is a chance to mother and to sister, to be a life giver, to help someone else become the woman she was intended to be, to walk alongside her and call her deep heart forth." -John and Stasi Eldredge, Captivating
