I want to become an Atom.
I want to be dirt.
I want to be a worm.
I want to be forgotten.
I want to be nothing.
I want to become the servant of all.
He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.
-John 3:30
when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
-Matthew 6:6
When you are invited to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the seat of honor...Instead, take the lowest place at the foot of the table.
-Luke 14:8
those who are last now will be first then, and those who are first will be last.
-Matthew 20:16
So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
-Matthew 18:4
when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
-Matthew 6:3
God blesses those who are meek, for they will inherit the whole earth.
-Matthew 5:5
I'm tired of religion. I'm tired of long worthless prayers. I'm tired of award ceremonies for people. I'm tired of the numbers.
I just want You Jesus. I don't want anyone to know what I've given, what I pray. I don't want people to recognize me with awards and applause. I want my treasure in Heaven with You. I want the rewards You have in store for me. I only want You to know my heart.
I want to become less and less. I want to be a child who prays in a closet, sits in the back of weddings, and who's left hand is clueless of giving.
I'm tired of announcing every religious accomplishment. The Kingdom is run a little differently.
I don't live for getting people to repeat a prayer.
I don't live for packed buildings.
I don't live for enthusiastic sermons.
I don't live for impressive worship bands.
I live for You Jesus my King. I live for love.
I want to live for people pouring out their heart in prayer.
I want to live for buildings with only those who want to be there.
I want to live for acts not words.
I want to live for vulnerable worship.
I want to live for You Jesus and Your Kingdom.
Atom instead of Adam
Dirt instead of Adam
I don't want anyone to remember my face or my name but I do want people to remember Your love.
Levi Weaver - Spirit First
I built this house but it fell down before I got one night of sleep
So how does that beat all the fools who never tried
They missed the moon in rented rooms, traded stories over food
I worked alone, broke my bones with all my pride
I desired royal attire, so I acquired the emperor's skin
held a parade & begged the world to look inside
I wanted fame, 'cause I thought fame could prove to me that I was great
it never came; I was a failure to myself
It's the way of the world to swallow you alive
The way of the world to swallow you alive
Spirit first.
It's been so long singing songs I couldn't possibly still mean
I guess they're lies if they've lost the truth they had
and it's so hard to get well, writing postcards home from Hell
I'd rather pack; I'd rather leave this all
It's the way of the world to swallow you alive
the way of the world to swallow you alive
Spirit first.
You get one life, and I spend mine chasing highways made of ghosts
now I don't know the way home from where I stand
And I believed I was free, til I forgot what I believed
now I don't even need chains to hold me down.
I want to be dirt.
I want to be a worm.
I want to be forgotten.
I want to be nothing.
I want to become the servant of all.
