rediscovery

rediscover you by [Starfield]



i feel like this song is talking about, to, and from the perspective of cornerstone right now. everyone talks about how it feels as if everything's going downhill, we're not even at a plateau of spiritual high or whatever, but that it's getting worse and we're just steadily declining.

the thing is that we're forgetting how to pray. rachel even talked about it in her blog, how there is no wrong way to pray, but still at the same time, is there? Jesus tells us to pray with faith and God will answer..but that also doesn't mean for us to pray with only the intent of "seek and you will find"..

we pray because of our relationship with God. without prayer, there is no relationship. right now, it feels like we're frozen. our hearts are rock solid and too cold, and that's what's thickening this barrier between us and what's real. it's not just religion but a relationship.

I need to just admit
my faith is paper thin
I’m feeling so burned out
On religion

I say an empty prayer
I sing a tired song
I need to just admit that the passion’s gone

And I want to get it back

You told me
Look for You and I will find
So I’m here
Like I’m searching for the first time
Revive me, Jesus
Make this cold heart start to move
Help me rediscover You

I want to learn to pray
The way that David prayed
I want my soul to burn when I hear Your name
I want to feel like new
I want to hunger for you
Bring me back to life like only You can do
Cause I don’t want to stay the same

Lord, I want to be Yours today
I want to know the passion of the saints
And how they were changed

I want to burn for You
Bring me back to life, Jesus
Help me rediscover You
