I'm here Lord

I have had several conversations with God lately.  I think that it's easy during times of stress to say a prayer and ask for guidance to get through it, but when times are good we often forget to kneal and pray.  I have the perfect reminder every day at work about God's grace.  We pray a lot at work, but now I am forgetting to have those normal everyday conversations with God.  I am going to work on being closer to him and being a more devoted follower. 

I have been hearing a lot about a group of young singers from my home state.  They have a song called Christ Alone.  It's worth a listen.  I will post lyrics. 

Christ Alone
Edens Edge

When I fly off this mortal earth
And I’m measured up by depth and girth
The Father says now what’s he worth
May he see Jesus death and birth

Don’t measure me by dollar signs
Or bricks and mortar you may find
By Christ alone will I be found
Worthy of that golden crown
Worthy of that golden crown

The value of this life I’ve lived
How did I love, did I forgive
Where did my treasure truly lay
How did I start and end each day

Don’t measure me by battles won
Or some good deed that I have done
By Christ alone will I be found
Worthy of that golden crown
Worthy of that golden crown

May be a pauper or a king
Have nothing or have everything
The question begs, do you belong
Do you sing a resurrection song

Measured by the master’s hand
On only one truth can we stand
By Christ alone will we be found
Worthy of that golden crown
Worthy of that golden crown

With the week that I have had I really needed this song.  I feel more prepared for whatever comes my way.
