a person after God's own heart

Is there a new song that expresses a heart for God.  I especially like how Keith says it's so hard to see when my eyes are on me.  Or, I wanna die and let you live.  

I really am looking for a current song that expresses a heart for God.  I want to use it in church this Sunday.  Church is for this generation.  I want to be a pastor to this generation.  Help me to not use this old song from when I was a teen.  

Trying to go after the character of David this week.  What does it mean for people to call David a man after God's own heart.

David was not perfect.  But he would become broken over his sin.

David could have killed Saul when Saul was going to the bathroom in that cave.  David did not do what so many thought would be totally acceptable.

David could have killed people as the king.  Like those related to king Saul.  But he honored them.  

David could have honored those who said they killed his enemies.  But, you know what he did to them.  

What is a man after God's own heart?  How can I be a man after God's own heart?

Make my life a prayer- Keith Green

Make my life a prayer to you 
I wanna do what you want me to 
No empty words and no white lies 
No token prayers no compromise 

I wanna shine the light you gave 
Thru your son you sent to save us 
From ourselves and our despair 
It comforts me to know you're really there 

Chorus 
Well I wanna thank you know 
For being patient with me 
Oh it's so hard to see 
When my eyes are on me 
I guess I'll have to trus 
And just believe what you say 
Oh you're coming again 
Coming to take me away 

I wanna die and let you give 
Your life to me so I might live 
And share the hope you gave me 
The love that set me free 

I wanna tell the world out there 
You're not some fable or fairy tale 
That I've made up inside my head 
You're God the son and you've risen from the dead 

This generation

2 young ladies came to visit our youth meeting last week.  I feel this.  Those who are creative.  Young adults with piercings or tattoos feel condemnation from some churches today.  I am so thankful that the church has moved past enforcing rules that are not in the Bible.  

But I wonder are young people wondering if they will receive condemnation from people who claim to know God.  

The Bible has enough rules, guidelines and teachings.  We are not better if we make up more rules.  People are not better if we expect them to keep extra guidelines.  

I am thankful for churches that are growing to love all kinds of people.  The church can again be known for it's love.  The church can help people get to know God.  The God of the Bible.
