Why must it take my energy to be lost to be revived by You?
Why do I let it get that far?
My mind ponders You, but stops short at finding You.
How great are these mysteries that You try to reveal to me...
Yet I run so hard, I miss the signs.
When I sit in Your presence the peace is unimaginable.
What keeps me from coming to this place again?
The feeble words I speak are but rejected mumbles compared to what You share.
Your Word is as mighty as thunder, but as gentle as the breeze.
It breaks my fears and drowns my pride,
but tells of Your relentless love.
It is a sword and the greatest love story ever told.
May I ever seek Your face in the pages and hear You speaking to my soul.
May I constantly run to You with all I have, leaving nothing behind to lay at Your feet.
Mold me and shape me into the beauty You desire, remove the blemishes this world creates.
You alone have the power to bring forth the sun in the morning and the moon at night.
How much more can You change this heart of stone.
"I will run in the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart!"
Your everlasting hope is consuming, I open wide my arms to it and take a step...
(reference: Psalm 119:32, ESV)
There's a song I think you should listen to. It's called You Won't Relent by Jesus Culture. You should take a listen to it when you have the chance. I hope that you are having a great semester.
