you dangle over a ravine
you dug
Faith not of God
but by your own power
you have danced, sang and praised
In the light of His love
He feeds you
and sustains you
just enough
“Not enough!”
you scream
“Where are You?”
you shout
you flail around
in the river of your own blood
your tantrum will end soon
In your quiet
He will be heard
Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty
He is great and worthy of praise
He enjoys the glance of your eye
He inhabits His praise
His glory is worth noticing
His blood saved you
In your exuberance
In your new freedom
you didn’t know how
your mind is confused
as you try to use two
The old mind still sings
yet Christ in You reigns
so in your good intensions
you suffer
your ministry flounders
because you are listening to the wrong heart
But God is faithful
His is happy you are dangling
because when you grow weary
and let go
He wont let you crash
anywhere
but in His arms

You have taken something from me
I can never have again
You stole it
with insatiable teeth and greedy hands
You planned it
and here we stand
while you have never see my face
I don’t glorify God
He told me I can’t
before I was born He breathed me into being
He knew the hurts He would have to heal
before He chased me down with more passion
than I have ever possessed
He saw me in a light I didn’t create
All I said was yes
He is glory and
He glorifies Himself in me
You can’t hear me
on top of your high mountain
Your reflection is all you see
In the tone you have perfected
you have fooled many
But I have listened to my heart
I can’t see you because
I am looking at Him
I don’t glorify God
He has told me to stop
He didn’t create me as a his pilot light
But the stand that He sets ablaze
The fire you try to start
smolders while my tears run down His cross
and I choose to forgive you
He sees me as He created me
And I said yes
He is glory and
He glorifies Himself in me
In His blood I am me

and my heart was happy
while the angels sang
in words that only You can hear
Their cries rose out and over
encompassing this man
encompassing and overflowing
as Your messengers sang
You took him away and brought him back again
brand new
His eyes glowed and shone of Your mercy
clothed in Your banner of love
his spirit ever singing Your praise and Your grace
Oh holy Lord
Oh holy Lord
Oh holy Lord
You won
You are life
You are
As Your countenance shone through mine
You overflowed
Your love on all that were infiltrated by Your miracles
who foresaw and believed
with empty hands and full hearts
they sang with me as I was embellished
who You are
as You chose to prove who You are
I heard my soul singing
in our secret prayer songs
and I groaned
Amen

Louder than the wind
I hear the screams
The accusations
The fighting
All the times you didn’t know how
to choose joy
The whirlwind never stops
The one that keeps my voice
out of your head
Judgement
Defiance
Defenselessness
fed by a spirit you know well
but not by name
I want nothing more than to love you
I have gone to the ends
of the world & back
I chose you
I will never give up
So I will wait
Even if it is your last breath
I will hear you
when you choose joy
