We Sang "My Eyes Are Dry" in Worship Today

One of my favorite songs we sang today at church, Forest Park Community Church, was 'My Eyes Are Dry'. I have just recently blogged about Keith Green and his ministry. This is another song by him. 'My Eyes Are Dry' is a soulful, penetrating song that awakens the sleeping heart to a fresh relationship with Jesus. How I miss hearing Green's powerful voice displaying his passion while he sang it. And it also quickens my heart to stay alert. I can get so hard to the Lord. Many people commented about the song this morning after services on how they broke during the song. The words are simply:

My Eyes Are Dry
My eyes are dry, my Faith is old.
My heart is hard, my prayers are cold.
And I know how I ought to be,
Alive to You, and dead to me.

Well what can be done, for an old heart like mine?
Soften it up, with Oil and Wine.
The Oil is You,
Your Spirit of Love.
Please wash me anew,
In the Wine of Your Blood.

Old School Song: Psalm 139: 19 - 22 counting enemies

Psalm 139: 19 - 22

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

19 Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God!
O men of blood, depart from me!

20 They speak against you with malicious intent;
your enemies take your name in vain!

21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?

22 I hate them with complete hatred;
I count them my enemies.

Wow, what a strong picture of David's heart as he lays out all his emotions
while talking to the Lord. This is more than just emotion...but conviction for the love of God's Word and God's character. It is easy for me to lean on these words and justify 'hatred' in my own heart towards those in our world today that hate God and speak against God's Word or His attributes. I mean, come on, I ain't Superman! But I have to keep emotions in check and remind myself that although there are many against God and their actions I do hold in utter contempt, they are yet bound for a dark Hell without the Savior's covering. Jesus did say, "Pray for your enemies..."

Keith Green Video

Here is the Keith Green video I promised in my Larry Norman post. Keith's music really helped me get grounded in my walk with Jesus. His passion and hunger for God are clearly evident in his songs and ministry.



Keith Green vid link
Seems the video Keith Green Story is online - I might post it sometime, maybe one part a week, it's not good to load too many vids on one page at a time. You can find it on youtube if you don't want to wait.
