Make Over Time
Today I had an interview and unfortunately I somehow managed to FAIL the assesment test. I had no idea that a person could actually fail those silly things. But on further reflection I realized, that it obviously was not the job God has in store for me. There may also be something within myself that needs some "fixing" before I can get to that place. I want to have a make over, but the one performing this task will be God.

So I'm looking inside myself to see what may need worked on to receive God's full blessing for me. I want everything he has to offer, and I want the fullest and best from him.
I was put on this earth to please him and only him. Not too long ago I was not glorifying him in everything I did. I'm sure there is plenty within myself that needs its "fixin". I keep asking what's taking God so long. Now I realize he has been asking what's taking ME so long. I guess I can wait a little longer only to come out on the other side a completely new person and ready for anything God throws my way. I'm completely ready for God to finally call me for what I am here to do. Wherever or whatever he tells me to go or do I will go and do it without a thought or a complaint.




"Make Me Over"--Natalie Grant

I've been silent instead of speaking up, gave my advice instead of giving love. I have been unfair, faithless, and unkind. I have shut my eyes just so I would stay blind. It's not what I'm meant to do 'cause I wanna honor you.

CHORUS: Make me over, make me new, Make me a mirror, a reflection of you. Take me all apart, take me to your heart, and pull me closer. Oh Jesus, make me over.

Take away the pride that whispers in the dark. Take the stone out of the middle of my heart. Hidden underneath my insecurities is the servant that you've destined me to be. Day after precious day, I get in my own way.

CHORUS: Make me over, make me new, make me a mirror, a reflection of you. Take me all apart, take me to your heart, and pull me closer. Oh Jesus, make me over.

I am only made of your imagining, Im dust and clay on the wind, wash me in the river of your sacrifice, until Im changed, purified.

Take me all apart, take me to your heart, and pull me closer My Jesus, make me over. Make Me over, Make Me over, Oh, make me over, Jesus.
