Empty Me

Today while driving back from Billings I was thinking about God’s holiness.  His separateness.  And what that looks like.  It’s something I want to understand more.  And something I want more of in my life.  As I was reflecting on this, a song came to my mind.  It is Jeremy Camp’s Empty Me.  I absolutely love the words.  I want to be holy.  Like God.  Once again I have included a link to the song as well as the words.

Empty Me

Holy Fire burn away, my desire for anything,
That is not of You and is of me,
I want more of You and less of me.

Holy Fire burn away, my desire for anything,
That is not of You and is of me,
I want more of You and less of me, yeah.

Empty me, empty me, yeah,
Fill, won't You fill me,
With You, with You, yeah.

Holy Fire, burn away, my desire for anything,
That is not of You and is of me,
I want more of You and less of me, yeah.

Empty me, empty me, yeah.
Fill, won't You fill me, with You, with You, empty me now.

Well won't You empty me, well won't You empty me now,
Well won't You empty me, well won't You empty me now,
I want more, I want more, I want more of You, Jesus.
I want more, I want more, oh.
Thank you, Jesus.
Thank you, Jesus, oh yeah,
Thank you, Jesus, yeah.
Holy Fire, Holy Fire, Holy Fire, Holy Fire.

Lord, help me to understand Your Holiness.  What it means for You.  What it means for me.  Empty me of everything in my life that is not holy.  Fill me with Your Holy Spirit.  In Jesus' name, Amen.
