I'm Still Yours

I enjoy the band Kutless but I've never owned their album, so I somehow managed to miss this song until recently, but I sure am loving it! It is always a good reminder to stop and examine whether we are serving and praising the Lord only because of His blessings, or because of who He is. Having just celebrated Thanksgiving, we are especially mindful of thanking God and praising Him for the many blessings in our lives. However, He is worthy of our praise whether we ever receive one single blessing from Him or not. I often wonder if I would be able to praise the Lord if everything else was completely stripped away from my life. Job 1:21 has long been a favorite verse of mine,

 "The Lord gives and the Lord takes away; 

may the name of the Lord be blessed."

It is an easy thing to say when things are good or even just kind of bad, but it is another thing to live out that conviction when you are faced with a complete desert. 

 Hope you enjoy this song (you can turn off the site music at the bottom of the page so that you can hear the video) and are encouraged to praise the Lord in every circumstance. 

I'm Still Yours- Kutless

If You washed away my vanity

If You took away my words

If all my world was swept away

Would You be enough for me?

Would my beating heart still sing?

If I lost it all

Would my hands stay lifted

To the God who gives and takes away

If You take it all

This life You've given

Still my heart will sing to You

When my life is not what I expected

The plans I made have failed

When there's nothing left to steal me away

Will You be enough for me?

Will my broken heart still sing?

If I lost it all

Would my hands stay lifted

To the God who gives

And takes away

If You take it all

This life You've given

Still my heart

Will sing to You

Even if You take it all away

You’ll never let me go

Take it all away

But I still know

That I'm Yours

I'm still Yours

Oh, I'm Yours

I'm still Yours

I'm still Yours
