Stay Empty

These are the most challenging lyrics I have heard in a long time:


Stay Empty
by Aaron Niequist

My life is cracked in ways that I don’t understand,
And there are holes inside I never planned.
But this roller-coaster,
Is how You pull me closer.
And I trust that You are who You made me for –

And I will stay empty,
I will keep waiting;
I will stay empty,
Until You fill me up and I
I will stay empty,
I will keep waiting,
Until You fill me up with You.


It may come soon,
And maybe it won’t.
I want to run,
But I know You don’t.
I give You my heart,
And trust You in faith.
And cling to the blessings
I anticipate!


And I will stay empty,
I will keep waiting;
I will stay empty,
Until You fill me up and I
And I will stay empty,
I will keep waiting;
I will stay empty,
I will keep waiting,
Until You fill me up with You.
