24
Twenty four oceans
Twenty four skies
Twenty four failures
Twenty four tries
Twenty four finds me
In twenty-fourth place
Twenty four drop outs
At the end of the day
Life is not what I thought it was
Twenty four hours ago
Still I'm singing
Spirit take me up in arms with You
And I'm not who I thought I was
twenty four hours ago
Still I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You

Twenty four reasons to admit that I'm wrong
With all my excuses still twenty four strong

See I'm not copping out
not copping out
not copping out
When You're raising the dead in me

Oh, oh I am the second man
Oh, oh I am the second man now
Oh, oh I am the second man now
And You're raising these twenty four voices
With twenty four hearts
With all of my symphonies
In twenty four parts
But I want to be one today
Centered and true
I'm singing
Spirit take me up in arms with You

You're raising the dead in me

I want to see miracles, see the world change
Wrestled the angel, for more than a name
For more than a feeling
For more than a cause

I'm singing
Spirit take me up in arms with You
And You're raising the dead in me

Twenty four voices
With twenty four hearts
With all of my symphonies
In twenty four parts.

I'm not copping out.
Not copping out.
Not copping out.

Lord and God, I rededicate this life to you.
Amidst the mundane, the rush, the routine that life sometimes lull about, Jesus, I'm Yours.
It has been quite a ride, hasn't it, Dad?
I am wowed by how You redeemed me and brought me ever to greater heights and brighter places.
I am wowed by how You show me the power of Light even when I see and walk through darker places.
I am wowed. By You.
Teach me, Lord to fly with You.
To never be afraid to be who You called me to be.
To dream and dare to be foolish.
You have called me by name and the name You chose for me is Giver Of Water.
My dearest Jesus, my closest Friend, my almighty Dad, let this life be worthy of that name.
Let my days be testament and witness, example and illustration of a life lived in Grace, in Mercy, in Love, in Faith, in all that You are.
Be God, be first, be always my First Love.
I will live the life that is truly life.
I will be a light.
I will be a giver of water.
Because You first loved me.

I remain: thankful.

Dad, *hugggggss*

I love You. Amen.
