The gentle brush of the breeze, the sound of glass as it runs down the fountain walls, and the beauty of the cherry blossoms, they humbly reflect the glory of your character, your love for your creation. In an instant, I am wrecked, consumed by your presence. How could this be? How could life contain such an impossible magnificence?
Vulnerably, though, what I must truly inquire is how I have come to find myself so adverse in my worship to those whom I so high esteem? Oh God, you deserve it all, all that I am and ever will be. Sound of my voice calling on your name has come to sicken me, saturated with troubles of my own and not of admiration for your abundant goodness. Gollum, consumed by his wounds, found comfort only in his determination to redeem that which was lost to him. In the darkness, he hid from the world. His inability to relinquish the bitterness and rage stored in his heart shown in the disfigurement of his body, ultimately bringing his life to a lonely end. Oh Lord, I know my ears have become deaf to your voice and my heart hardened to your presence but I beg you! Save this undeserving woman from her life of self mutilation. I humbly beseech you, Lord, save me from myself and the demons I have invited to wrap my limbs in chains. Freedom! You hear me, Enemies? In merciful name of my Father and his son Jesus, I declare freedom! You cannot have me! You cannot hold me! Etched in blood and ink on my heart reads the name of Jesus. You can taunt me no longer with lies of unworthiness of love and purpose. You may have strayed my focus for a moment but you cannot have my future or my heart. Even still, they lie in the hands of my Father. I do not understand how and I cannot understand why but I know only fools deny His love and I, once called friends, am not a fool. The Lord will redeem the hearts and lives of His children, his daughter who is now and forever betrothed to her Father.
"Find Me Here
Speak To Me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That's leading me
To the place where I find peace again.
You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose...you're everything.
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
You calm the storms, and you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, you won't let me fall.
You steal my heart, and you take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now?
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?"
