One of my favorite worship songs is "I'm Ready Now," by the Desperation Band. It's a song of surrender and of submission. It's a passion really, that springs from a heart that is hungry to fulfill the Lord's purpose under any circumstances. When I listen to it, I can hear the longing and even the craving for dependence upon the presence of God. I love the line that goes, "So take my heart, and make it new, and make it true, and make it like You. So take my hands, I lift them high, they're Yours not mine to do, do what You will." Simple, but powerful! Not complicated, but dangerous. Dangerous in the sense that, what if God will take a prayer like that serious? What if He will receive our surrender and truly do what He wants to do? What if that leads you down the path of the unexpected? What if that results in you going places that you never wanted to go and experiencing things you never wanted to experience? Are you READY? NOW? Come what will? Say with me: I'M READY NOW, LORD...DO WHAT YOU WILL!
