Empty and Beautiful - Matt Maher
My past won’t stop haunting me
In this prison there’s a fight
Between who I am and who I used to be
This thorn in my side is a grace
For because of it the flesh and blood of God was offered in my place
You fought the fight in me
You chased me down and finished the race
I was blind but now I see
Jesus, You kept the faith in me
Where did my best friends go?
At my defense they disappeared
Just like Your friends did to You, oh Lord
But You were there
You gave me strength
So this little one might come to know the glory of Your Name
I’m waiting and set apart
Like incense to Your heart
A libation I’m pouring out
Empty and beautiful…beautiful…beautiful…

My life is fully Yours, oh Lord. Mold me and renew me everyday.
No matter what the circumstance is: good, bad, joyful, hurtful; whether I’m dealing with betrayal, love, disappointment, or hope, YOU are always there. You’ve walked the walk, You’ve fought the fight, and I’m victorious because of You. Thank You, my Sweet Lord Jesus. (Fel)
