Advent Week 4: You Have Stirred My Soul

Brett sang this one by Robbie Seay Band following our incredible children's recital and sermon. It really captures the soul-stirring we've read about in Mary's experience, Elizabeth's pregnancy, and Zechariah's prophesy. Perhaps my favorite is the last line, "To you this love be given back." As we ponder the attitude, emotion and posture of our love in response to the soul-stirring, in-breaking love of God, may this be our prayer...

You Have Stirred My Soul
You have stirred my soul I am overwhelmed
At how this came to be That I would know such love

You have stirred my soul
Not by my own deed
But your sacrifice It has made me whole

And love more beautiful today
With offerings of grace
You're calling me away
And love more beautiful today
I am not the same
You're calling me away

To you
To you our voices rise
To you our spirits rise
To you this love be given back
