Sometime last week, I came back to find a little parcel sitting on the staircase waiting for me to pick up. I didn't recognise the handwriting on the despatch note, but suspected who it might be from. To my (not so surprised, as I remember my mum mentioning it before) delight, it contained some goodies from home. My mum had asked a friend of hers to send it to me on the way back to Kyoto.
One of it was a CD of "Adoration : We Celebrate You", the name and title I did not recognise. Maybe because I've not been keeping myself up-to-date with the latest Christian songs anymore! As with music CD's given to me, I'm quite hesitant to be overly excited unless I have specifically mentioned that I wanted it, but I decided to give it a try nevertheless. After all, it was compiled in collaboration with the folks at ODB, whose works I (try to) read every morning.
I was delightfully surprised at the quality of the songs in it, in fact my instant favourite was the last song in the list. It is both lyrically and musically rich and a joy to listen to. The title "Whole Heart" was most apt and I've been giving it the most play time compared to the rest.
Whole Heart,
words and music by Shannon J. Wexelberg
Give me a whole heart
To fully love you
Give me an undivided heart
Totally free
I ask You to heal my broken places
Lingering wound Your love replaces
Bind every part
Give me a whole heart
Give me a whole heart
To fully trust You
Give me an undivided heart
Completely at peace
Come in and restore what has been taken
The depths of my soul that have been shaken
Bind every part
Give me a whole heart
O Lord, help me to see
Your abundant love for me
Help me to rise
So I can soar on eagle's wings
O Lord, help me to go
Where I've never gone before
Help me to fly
As You breathe life to me once more
Give me a whole heart
To fully love You
Give me an undivided heart
Totally free
I ask You to heal my broken places
Lingering wound Your love replaces
Come in and restore what has been taken
Depths of my soul that have been shaken
Bind every part
Bind every part
Bind every part
Give me a whole heart
