MORNING COMES UP WITH THE DAWN
ANOTHER DAY ROLLS BY
SOMETIMES I’M JUST HANGING ON
TILL I SEE A BLUER SKY
LORD YOU SPOKE THE UNIVERSE BEGAN
CREATION OBEYED YOUR VOICE
ON CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK I STAND
IN HIM I WILL REJOICE
FOR YOU ARE THE LIVING STONE
THE FOUNDATION OF MY LIFE
I SHALL NOT STUMBLE OR FALL
FOR YOU ARE MY LIVING STONE
WHEN I SEE THE WONDERS GREAT
THAT YOUR HANDS HAVE MADE
I’M HUMBLED BY YOUR MIGHTY POWER
SO ENDLESSLY DISPLAYED
A SNOWFLAKE FALLS EACH MASTERPIECE
DISAPPEARS WITHOUT A TRACE
YOU MADE THIS WORLD OF GRACE AND BEAUTY
SO WE MIGHT SEE YOUR FACE
CHORUS
MY HEART WAS A COLD DEAD STONE
YOUR SACRIFICE GAVE ME LIFE
I AM YOUR PRECIOUS CHILD
AND HOLY IN YOUR SIGHT
YOU FILL ME DAY BY DAY
MY SPIRIT TO RENEW
SEATED IN THE HEAVENLY REALMS
MY PLACE PREPARED BY YOU
CHORUS 3X

To be poor in spirit means we understand that everything we are has come from God. We are but dust and will return to dust—a creation of God (Gen 3:19). Isa 57:15 explains who God will dwell with to have an intimate relationship—all who humble themselves (Jas 4:6). The proud are always at a distance from God and away from His presence, as Satan discovered when pride was found in his heart (Eze 28:17). But for the poor in spirit, God’s promise is in the present tense, theirs “is” the kingdom of heaven (Mt 5:3). We don’t have to wait until heaven to experience this kind of intimacy, for God promises to dwell with the poor in spirit today and forever (Jn 14:16). So begin today to enjoy His presence forever.
THE PERFECT FIT
We all have different gifts and just as a composer uses different instruments to convey the emotions of his composition, God will use us in a way to accomplish His perfect will. Therefore, we must hear His voice and be obedient to where He places us, and yes, sometimes, He’ll need to chip away a flawed part to make the perfect fit.
