Whenever you feel empty, call out to Jesus. His presence will comfort you. It’s okay to be nothing but a shell, the Holy Spirit is happy to fill you. When you’re tired, slow down and let the grace of Christ minister to you. One of the most beautiful songs about this is Beautiful Jesus by Jonathan David & Melissa Helser. Listen to it, let it sooth your soul, and praise the Lord. He is near to brokenhearted.

Lyrics for Beautiful Jesus by Jonathan David & Melissa Helser

Hey Jesus, won’t You come and dress me in Your thoughts
Pick out Your favorite ones I’m holding out my heart
You cover gray, empty space with color from Your well
Deep love is pouring out and filling up my shell

Chorus:
Beautiful Jesus, My glorious friend
The One who never grows weary and stays till the end
Oh how I love You, I cannot begin to say
All of the reasons that I love to sing Your name

Holy Spirit, won’t You come and cover me in light
Illuminate the dark space with color yellow bright
Like the stars coming out and filling up my night
The glory of Your promises, You make wrong things right
You make wrong things right

Bridge:
Oh, how I love You
Oh, how I love You
Oh, how I love You
Jesus

Outro:
I love You, no one’s like You
Keeper of my heart
Beautiful Jesus

 

Let us pray

Gracious God,
Thank you for inviting us to you,
especially when we are at the end of our rope.
Beautiful Jesus, our glorious friend,
we love you, we praise you!
Meet our needs with your grace.
Holy, holy Spirit,
fill our empty shells with your glory.
Surround us with your love.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen
