Be it unto me...

'I am the Lord's servant' Mary answered. 'May it be to me as you have said.'
- Luke 1:38

As Pastor Wayde Goodall shared from this passage last night, an old song just kept playing in my mind, by Don Moen

Chorus:
Be it unto me
According to your Word
According to your promises
I can stand secure
Carve upon my heart
The truth that sets me free
According to your Word O Lord
Be it unto me

You promised your blood will deliver
Lord, we believe it's true
You promised us joy like a river
Lord we receive it from you
These things you have spoken
And you're bringing to pass
This world's disappearing
But your word will last

Chorus

You promised to carry our sorrows
Lord, we believe it's true
You promised unending tomorrows
Lord we receive them from you
You will be our provider
In your word it's revealed
And by the stripes that you've bowed
Lord we have been healed

Chorus

A timely reminder. Lord, may I be like Mary who obeyed and trusted in You although she had no inclination of the consequences of her obedience.
