You In Me

In the Essentials in Worship Leading course, one of the main discussions was on the different roles of the worship leader. One of the roles that I found I wasn't instinctively keen to was that of the Intercessory. My desire for an increase in this particular role led me to wanting to write a song that asked for that heart for the community I'm now serving in. This also happens to be an area that the pastor at my church is speaking on as well. He's talking about how in order to serve our city, our community, we have to start by actually loving it the way God does. So, it seems to fit as not only a desire for my heart for this congregation, but my heart for the physical location I'm in, as well as a desire the church to have and seek as well.

Most of the song came in a single bout of worship. I honestly disliked it at first, and tried changing up lyrics and using different chord arrangements and tempos and styles, but I kept on coming back to the original. I also felt like it might have been too simple, but I feel that's okay now as I hope it might help others connect with it better. In essence, it's really a simple desire for a more Godly heart, so I think that the simple language fits just fine.
