I'm Still Yours

I have had this song by Kutless on repeat all morning long.  

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

This chorus makes me think every time I hear it, If I lost it all would my hands stay lifted to the God who gives and takes away?I pray that my faith will be so deeply rooted with God my savior that even when I go through the storms that I will still lift my hands and praise the only true God.  May I remember that He is not just God when I'm on the mountains, but that He is also the God over my valleys.   May I trust and know that "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 Yours!"

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? 
I pray that when things don't go according to MY plans, but rather according to HIS that I will know that He is more than enough for me.  He has rescued me and given me life.  My Lord is my shepherd.  He has led me through green pastures and through valleys of the shadow of death, but I find so much comfort in knowing that no matter where He leads me I know that HE is God over that place!  Since He is God over every place my heart still has a reason to sing.  

May my heart always sing praises to the Holy God.  May I fall humbly before His throne and praise His name for He alone is God.  He is more than enough for me.  Even if everything else failed me I know with all of my heart that I would still have a reason to sing, for I have been redeemed by my Savior and He is alive and living in me!  That alone is a good enough reason to praise my King for the rest of eternity!
