A desert


She walks steadily towards the fire,

Conversing with her fallen soul,

Trying to redeem herself before she approaches the holiness:

 

I carry you in my tired heart.

Your yoke Lord, is lighter than the chaos I keep.

 

Guide your child through the parched soils,

Irrigate the deserts she must tread.

And be the hope of her heart.

Wherever you may lead her.

 

It’s a lonely journey,

Pursuing unseen things,

Swimming against the world’s tides,

Praying in the busy-ness

Drawing a seeming wish list…

 

You have put a void in my heart.

Have put me in the lowest pit…

I cry, I toil against fiends everyday...a somewhat recurring defeat(s).
 
’but If Christ’s kingdom may thereby be advanced in me.

Then may your will  be done’’


 

The stand by hillsong

You stood before creation
Eternity in your hand
You spoke the earth into motion
My soul now to stand

You stood before my failure
And carried the cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon your shoulders
My soul now to stand

So what could I say?
And what could I do?
But offer this heart, Oh God
Completely to you

So I'll walk upon salvation
Your spirit alive in me
This life to declare your promise
My soul now to stand

So what could I say?
And what could I do?
But offer this heart, Oh God
Completely to you

I'll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the one who gave it all
I'll stand
My soul Lord to you surrendered
All I am is yours
