the other day, i was driving around running errands, deep in thought about the upcoming week. there is a lot to do before The Relevant Conference. i was making mental lists: groceries to get, meals to prepare, clothes to pack, and more. i was thinking about last year's conference, how it shook me up emotionally and spiritually, and how i want that again this year. i was thinking about the distractions that the enemy has tried to put in my way leading up to this year's conference: fear, illness, nerves, guilt, stress.
all of a sudden, this song came on the radio, and it was as if God shut everything else out of my mind, cranked the volume up to crystal clear, and put my complete focus on the words coming through my car's speakers.
i've heard it before, and you probably have, too. but the way God had me hear it was different this time. i heard it as spiritual armor and a prayer for my purpose in going to the conference. i heard it for me, for us, as we get ready for Relevant. "ready yourselves..."
Lord, I want to feel your heart and see the world through your eyes.
I want to be your hands and feet. I want to live a life that leads.
Ready yourselves (ready yourselves)
Let us shine the light of Jesus in the darkest night.
Ready yourselves (ready yourselves)
May the powers of darkness tremble as our praises rise!
Until the whole world hears Lord we are calling out!
Lifting up Your name for all to hear the sound!
Like voices in the wilderness we're crying out!
As the day draws near we'll sing until the whole world hears...
Want to be your hands and feet, want to be a life that leads, to see you set the captive free,
until the whole world hears!
And I pray that they will see more of you and less of me.
Lord I want my life to be the song You sing!
Until the whole world hears Lord we are calling out!
Lifting your name up for all to hear the sound!
Like voices in the wilderness we're crying out!
As the day draws near we'll sing until the whole world hears...
