Stir My Heart

You know, as Christians we're just pilgrims wandering here, waiting for that glorious day when we'll fly.  And sometimes we need a reminder to persevere until then. 

So as I often do, I listen to my pretend BFF, Sara Groves.  She sings a song that is a prayer about how if life's circumstances should cause someone to lose sight of the Lord, that He would stir their heart to renew their relationship.  Take a listen by clicking on the player.  The lyrics are printed below.

"Stir My Heart" - by Sara Groves


If time were ever to wear you away
If circumstance should bind me
If age should bring a dark night on my soul
If fear and doubt should blind me

Please stir my heart
Take me back to the fire
Bring to me a recollection of joy
Renew my first desire

If pains and trials come to me
And I cannot stand strong
If fools adjust my theories
To believe Your truth is wrong

Please stir my heart
Take me back to the fire
Bring to me a recollection of joy
Renew my first desire

I swear it never will happen to me
But how can I know
For Peter swore the same to Thee
O, hear the cock crow

Please stir my heart
Take me back to the fire
Bring to me a recollection of joy
Renew my first desire
