…on requiring all of Me
January 4, 2009 by cheloyskee
“All of Me” is playin in my pc.. one of the songs from the album “The Covenant”. Songs that have captured my heart in the past. remembering my small walks in my university during sunsets.
now, as I listen to the lyrics once more, I am more than reminiscing.. like the theme of the album, I am likened to Israel who has brought far, and longed for it’s home for 70 years…
Red was the sky
In the flame burned a light
Calling me
To Your side and required
All of me
I am brought far… and God, I believe, longed so much of my heart that he has to take me away.. away from my usual distractions.
I heard him more after that.. but my heart is wayward in its nature that it required ‘deserts’ and ‘wilderness’. it’s God’s way of sitting me on a chair, hold my face with both hands, and telling me, ‘cheloy, this is me. I am here. I need all of you.’
Blue like the sea
Tears have flowed
So deep through me
Sweet release
Precious peace - You have seen
All of me
He has truly seen all of me… and still required all of it. wanted all of me..and this one I cannot fully comprehend..

jeremiah 31:2
“The people who survived the sword will find favor in the desert; I will come to give rest to Israel.”
(God’s message of hope to Israel through the prophet Jeremiah after they were brought captive by the King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon..)
