This is actually an older song a friend helped me translate to German. Two sets of lyrics below. This may still need editing and my pronunciation is awful. I can hardly get around the words (might be that there is too many of them. I am translating though from the version below, not the original lyric I had. Funny how that changes. Very much a learning process. 

Leere mich von mir 
Damit ich für dich leben kann 
Du hast großer Pläne für mich Als das, 
Wonach jemals hatte streben können
Leere mich von mir 
Trotz Gefahr oder schneidendem 
Schwert Lass den Schmerz mich näher bringen 
Zu dir, Herr 

Und ich werde überwinden 
So wie Du überwunden hast 
Du wirst dafür sorgen,
Dass ich alles hinter mir lasse was mich niederhält 
Und ich werde überwinden 
Alles, was du überwunden hast 
Was Jesus   hat, 
verändert alles. 
So werde ich den Sohn preisen 
und auf festem Boden stehen

Leere mich von mir 
hilf mir, das Kreuz mehr zu erhöhen
Als das, wonach auch immer ich mich sehnte 
Leere mich von mir 
Was auch immer ich als Verlust angesehen habe, 
bedeutet nichts im Vergleich dazu, 
Dich zu kennen.

Durch deinen Geist, 
Herr werde ich überwinden 
Nicht mit aller Macht, 
nicht mit aller Macht 

Empty myself of me 
So that I can live for you 
You have bigger plans for me than whatever I could strive for 
Empty myself of me 
Despite danger or cutting Sword 
Let the pain bring me closer to you, Lord 

And I will overcome 
Just as you have overcome 
You will make sure 
That I leave behind everything that holds me down 
And I will overcome 
Everything you have overcome 
What Jesus has, changes everything. 
So I will praise the Son 
and stand on solid ground 

Empty myself of me 
help me raise the cross above whatever I long for 
Empty myself of me 
Whatever I consider a loss, means nothing compared to knowing you. 

It is Through your spirit, Lord will I overcome 
Not with my might

John 6:41-51
We are discussing the insidiousness of self deception.

In this podcast we talk about the Jews, Christ speaks with about He, Himself, being the bread of life they needed to internalise.  John 6: 41-51

In this podcast we discuss our will and how we can "make sure we are in the faith".

New Song! Talking about, believe!

Hiding behind our religious "us", "we", "our" might not get us as far as we imagined. 

Dear saints

Do you know who you are?

Belonging, accepted and beloved

Dear saints, dear saints

Sealed until the day

In the spirit 

Of His grace

Dear saints

Oh that you may know

What awaits you in glory

For you heard the word

And believed

The Gospel story

Oh that you may understand 

This kingdom

Let it shed a light on everything you do

Don’t you know He is for you?

Dear Saints 

Lavished in love

And chosen from above

Dear saints

By him who does on the earth

Exactly what He wants

Dear saints

To Him who is able

To keep you until

His return

When His kingdom

Believed By faith 

Will then be sight

Dear Saints

Hold fast to the

Light 

We are still in John chapter 6, but also referencing Romans 7. We discuss what it means to surrender, and it might not be what we think.

And with this final mash up we are done! Woah! Praise God. He has been faithful once again. Remember folks, I got this hair brained idea at the end of November! He does indeed move mountains, birthdays, Christmases, new years celebrations, visitors....to make a way!
