I cannot stop writing

and delighting my soul

in prayer and praise

and seeking to walk in His ways

because my flesh betrays me

I need Jesus to raise me up

and help me, for I am weak

and it is not often that I seek

His mercy and grace

as I did when in that dark place

with tears on my face

feeling so torn and forsaken

but I was to awaken to see

and find renewed youth

seeing into the mirror of God's Truth

and really sharing in His Glory

being able to receice a crown

is only the beginning of the story

Being counted worthy to suffer for Him

is beyond my imagination

and my life looked so grim

but now I'm a new creation

part of a Holy Nation

not feeling frustration

or any anxiety

I don't want riches or notoriety

I want to heal society

reveal His plan and quietly

walk in His Power and Light

and praise Jesus for my sight

because I was blind

but now I see

so I reach out to God for mercy

because I always need it

His word is in me

but I don't always heed it

fertile ground is all around

but I don't always seed it

I am learning that I have to feed

on the Truth of His Word

and meditate on Holy things

that are sometimes obscured

by my lack of actions

to be rid of distractions

and worship at His feet

because there is no better place

than seeking His face

because Jesus makes my heart beat

and has given me a seat

next to Him in heaven

and I dimly see myself there

and I'm scarcely aware

of how glorious that day will be

where night will shine as day

and suffering will pass away

So this is what I pray

that everyone will see

when I tell them all the things

that Jesus did for me

and if you decide to ignore me

I still hope to see you in glory

because if your breathing

He's still writing your story.
