After worship was led by the group from Citipointe
With a sermon, their leader Aaron Lucas did us anoint
Thirteen years ago his life was changed one day
Since then God has "messed him up" in a great way
At a young age, his parents divorced - lots of tissues
As a youth, drugs and alcohol - lots of issues
Aaron was always trying to fill the void in his heart
But you can't just pick and choose like in a supermart
In New Mexico, he had an encounter with the One who cares
For the next two and a half hours, Aaron said many prayers
But it wasn't until he was playing guitar in a youth camp
That his pain came out in tears that made the ground damp
For that is when he felt that his chains were broken
He felt liberated as if to him God had personally spoken
For the first time in his life Aaron felt true love
The type that can only come from God above
After such an encounter, nothing can ever be the same
For per Citipointe's song, there is power in His name
But having an encounter is actually not enough
We must choose his love even if reality is tough
The relationship with God we must maintain
If from the encounter we are to get the full gain
In the realm of passion our lifestyle must stay
Our passion for God must be with us every day
Three ways to do so, Aaron did with us then share
To ensure that our passion is constant, not rare
We need to pursue God was point number one
We must hunger for Him and never from Him run
By earthly problems, we should not get bogged down
For we can always bring them to our God of renown
To Matthew five verse six, Aaron did then refer
Upon those who thirst, righteousness God will confer
Of course we need to be emptied before we can be filled
We must give up being so proud and strong willed
He urged us to serve the church in some detail
Otherwise, he warned, our faith will grow stale
We need to live desperate lives was point number two
For those who are truly hungry are desperate too
This desperation should live inside of our heart
And the corresponding expectation should never depart
For with God, anything is possible to achieve
As long as we continue to truly believe
Point number three was the need to understand the cross
We must encounter and worship God for His loss
Remember that the cross has such amazing redemptive power
We should thank Jesus for his sacrifice every single hour
For without the cross, we can not truly understand
About God's love and what He has for us planned
Matthew seven verse seven says to ask, seek, and knock
Such access to God's power, only the cross can unlock
We should never take the cross for granted is the bottom line
For with God's love and vision we must our hearts align
PS. Citipointe Live's music blows me away
I could listen to it several times every day
