One
Thank You.
Thank you for being my keeper.
I remember when the arrows began flying
And the terrors of the night came to eat up my flesh.
I remember when the pestilence was stalking in the darkness
And destruction kept calling me by name.
I remember when the walls of that pit seemed to close in on my hope
And tomorrow always seemed like a distant land.
You saw me.
Eyes locked like a father seeing his daughter for the first time.
And when you called my name
It’s like creation paused in anticipation of the union.
As if the stars stood in awe of Your pursuit
And the moon wore a smile larger than my heart’s response.
It was a love story’s beginning.
A place I felt worthy of being kept
And to this this day it has been the greatest contentment I’ve ever met.
Two
Remind me that it’s all about You.
All honor is always due.
Even nature worships you.
The clouds remind me that Your are holy
As they often break under the weight of Your glory.
Raining promises that remind me that nothing else matters.
Nothing at all.
Compared to you, it’s all too small,
Every other god has flaw
But not You, You reign above them all.
All honor, all glory, all worship is due
for ALL is vanity with YOU.
Three
It feels good to be free.
To know that my salvation doesnt rely on my sufficiency
and Your goodness and mercy just keeps chasing me.
You are my freedom song.
My spirit sings of its liberation.
My heart dances upon the rhythm of Your love. It has sunken deep, deep to my core
and I vow to dwell in this place forevermore.
Four
Your Word is my treasure.
I hold it close.
It gives me hope.
So Precious
So Sweet
Yet sobering
And sharp.
And daily the Spirit writes it upon my heart.
It is what I prize
So active
So piercing
So ALIVE.
Five
Sanctify me in Your truth.
Your Word is truth.
You have my permission.
Here I am,
with unveiled face,
beholding the glory of the Lord.
Being transformed from one degree of glory to another
Until I can finally commune with You forever.
