Captivate me Lord Jesus with you

I was listening to a song called Captivate Us by watermark. I was thinking about this year and what my goal as a teacher was going to be and how I wanted my life to change through that. I honestly want this to be my goal and I wanted to share the lyrics with you.

Lyrics to Captivate Us :

Your face is beautiful

And Your eyes are like the stars

Your gentle hands have healing

There inside the scars

Your loving arms they draw me near

And Your smile it brings me peace

Draw me closer oh my Lord

Draw me closer Lord to Thee

(chorus)

Captivate us, Lord Jesus

Set our eyes on You

Devastate us with Your presence

Falling down

And rushing river, draw us nearer

Holy fountain consume us with You

Captivate us Lord Jesus, with You

Your voice is powerful

And Your words are radiant bright

In Your breath and shadow

I will come close and abide

You whisper love and life divine

And Your fellowship is free

Draw me closer O my Lord

Draw me closer Lord to Thee

(chorus)

Let everything be lost in the shadows

Of the light of Your face

Let every chain be broken from me

As I’m bound in Your grace

For Your yoke is easy, Your burden is light

You’re full of wisdom, power and might

And every eye will see You

(chorus)

The past couple of months I have seen a lot of lost of earthly things and there is a part in this song where it says Lord devastate me with Your presence and we look at devastation as bad but how many times does God use loss to bring us to him. I want this song to be my goal for my life and my class. I want to be in his presence at all times good and bad. I want to be captivated in Him. My prayer is that our school and home will be Captivated in who Christ is.

School starts Monday and I am so excited for my students to come. I have 12 students 5 boys and 7 girls. My room is all set up and pictures will come to the blog soon.
