Anointed

... Among the things we brought back from Hillsong Conference 2007 were the new songs penned by their team. Today we shared with cdpc 3 of them.

And I realised afresh, that those songs are really God-anointed, God-inspired; for they allowed God's people to worship Him in a fresh new way.

Everytime I hear or sing "Hosanna", I feel a deep sense of longing from deep within; an ache I can't explain; is it a yearning to truly praise God for all He is? And the bridge brings one to really cry out before the Lord...

"Heal my heart and make it clean,
Open up my eyes to the things unseen,
Show me how to love like You have loved me...
Break my heart for what breaks Yours,
Everything I am for the Kingdom's cause,
As I walk from here into eternity...."

... This is my desire: that the things I do in His name and for His glory - be it in writing songs, in singing, or playing music - will be approved, anointed by Him, and serve His purpose: to point His people in the direction of the one and only living God.

Amen. I really believe God brought us to Hillsong to teach us very important things that we'll keep with us as we serve Him.

May God use the music you make to bless many!
