The LORD is Close to the Brokenhearted
2005 : September | Website Version
Today’s message comes via lyrics for two songs submitted by Melissa Baetens: “On My Knees” and “Your Presence”. Melissa previously submitted a devotion for us in 2004: Week 30: Drop of Grace. The Lord has always been there for Melissa; where people have failed her, the Lord never has. The Lord is always there for all of us, but not all of us are grateful for His sustaining grace. We could all learn to love Him more and thank Him for all that He has done in our lives. Melissa displays a gracious heart for all that the Lord has done for her, and we hope her lyrics are a blessing to you.
Psalm 34: 15 and 18, as revealed by the Holy Spirit to Melissa Baetens…

On My Knees Reach in; Take all that I am. Peel away, These wounds left by man. All I want, Is to feel You once again. Touch me; Heal my heart within. Chorus I’m on my knees before You, Calling out Your name. I’m weary and I’m broken, Somehow, my life needs changed. I’m on my knees before You, Transform my heart inside Breathe in me new life. It’s You that I desire. I know, You can see this pain inside. Help me, Not to run and hide. Come now, And hold me close to You. No one, Else is going to do. Chorus I’m on my knees before You, Calling out Your name. I’m weary and I’m broken, Somehow, my life needs changed. I’m on my knees before You, Transform my heart inside Breathe in me new life. It’s You that I desire. |

Your Presence I want to breathe You in again, To where Your spirit floods my soul. Penetrating every part, Shutting out the cold. Replace this cold with the fire Of the Holy Ghost. Move my heart to repentance; Come and take control. Chorus Consume me – move me Change my heart within. Break this prideful spirit, Wash me of my sin. Consume me – move me, Draw me close to You. I humbly bow before You, Lord, Come and make me new. Come and make me new. Revive my spirit deep within, Touch me with Your love. Show me how to live again, You know I’ve had enough. I’ve ran from You far too long I’m weary and I’m tired. Without You, life is nothing. You are my one desire. Chorus Consume me – move me Change my heart within. Break this prideful spirit, Wash me of my sin. Consume me – move me, Draw me close to You. I humbly bow before You, Lord, Come and make me new. Come and make me new. |
May the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you today and always…
