Chris Sligh

The Song of the Week (coming out later than I wanted) is from former American Idol contestant Chris Sligh. The song is entitled "Empty Me" and can be found down in the playlist. Unforturnately, I could not find other songs from this particular artist that I wanted to also include with the Song of the Week.

The second half of Ephesians 5:18 reads something like this: "be filled with the Spirit." The lyrics in Sligh's song point out that you cannot be filled up with one thing if you are filled with something else. If we are to be filled with the Holy Spirit as Paul encourages us to be, then we must make sure that we are emptied inside and ready to be filled. Usually what is keeping us from the filling of the Spirit is that we are filled up with ourselves.

The last line of the chorus is a great prayer for all those who are looking for guidance and direction in the Lord's plan for them: "Empty me of me so I can be filled with You."
