Empty Me

I heard this song today, it struck a cord. I think at some point in our lives we are all filled with selfishness, pride and vain ambitions. We like to be in the spotlight. And how being in the spotlight only makes us want more.
We are all so quick to judge when it comes to the story of the prodigal and yet can't we all see aspects of ourselves in the story. Steve, my pastor did a series on the Prodigal a while back that was simply amazing.
This song was just a great reminder of life. I just need to pray continually that God will Empty Me.


I've had just enough of the spotlight when it burns bright
To know 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
And 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 why 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.
