Be Magnified
I have made you too small in my eyes
Oh Lord, forgive me
And I have believed in a lie
That you were unable to help me
Refrain:
But now, Oh Lord
I see my wrong
Heal my heart, and show you're such strong
And in my eyes, and with my song
Oh Lord, be magnified
Chorus:
Be magnified, Oh Lord
You are highly exalted
And there is nothing you can do
Oh Lord, my eyes are on you
Be magnified, Oh Lord be magnified
I have lean on the wisdom of men
Oh Lord, forgive me
And I have responded to them
Instead of your light and your mercy
(Repeat Refrain & Chorus)
------------------
The first time I heard this song during our choir practice, "extreme guilt" suddenly hit my heart like
a shotgun bullet. I was covered with shame. Something burning inside me wanted to run away from God and hide. But where will
I bury my sinful self for Him not to find me? He is there anywhere and everywhere I go.
I confess that a lot of times I treated God like a nobody. Instead of relying on Him, I depended on my
own understanding on wordly things. I acted selfishly in many things that led me to go astray. I followed my own way, without
even minding to ask Him, "Lord, if you were on my situation, or if you were to decide this particular disturbing matter, what
and how do you want me to respond to it?" Instead, I used to do what Satan dictated me all the time: myself, my wounded pride,
ME, ME, ME. Satan did everything for me to believe what this world taught is right. I foolishly allowed myself be engulfed
by human wisdom instead of trustfully leaning on God's.
What a shame to make God appear too small in my eyes. How could someone like me, enslaved by sin, underestimate
the all-knowing, all -powerful God? I need a hard whack, I deserve it!
