Inspired by: H. Shawn Norman
I see now that you had me in the fire, with a purpose like Jeremiah
For in my mother’s womb you shaped me with destiny and a desire
A desire to speak to nations, seek your truth with wisdom and revelation
And through your word offer the joy of your salvation
So through the years and tears, the joys and the fears
You placed strength in me I didn’t realize I had to help me persevere
Father, can you make it clear? My “there” is now here
I’ve been chosen and considered for such a time as this
Yet, I need you to restore me; heal me in spite of my brokenness
This test came with some lessons perhaps I couldn’t study for
However, this has only brought me to a place of dwelling on your threshing floor
And now I need you more and more; possibly more than the day before
When I thought I was losing this race, you stepped in my place to even the score
If it’s not one thing, it’s another; tried to stay under the covers
For a split second I thought you didn’t care until you reminded me that we were lovers
You love me where I am, while loving me to where I am going to be
You changed up the recipe so I wouldn’t give up on the road to destiny
You’re the God who specializes in storms that get worse
You’re the only one I know who can speak to the waves and command them to reverse
Lord, quench my thirst; no better yet, keep me longing for your water
If everything was 100, there would be no need to stay on the altar
When I began to falter, Lord please keep me on the straight and narrow
I must keep pressing; draw me back like a bow to an arrow
Continue watching over me like your eye is on the sparrow
I no longer desire to stay in Egypt; give me the boldness to speak to Pharaoh
Your word says if I abide in You, in me You will abide
But sometimes, I can barely eat the main entrée let alone the sides
Entangled in a web like my issues have gone worldwide
I thought I had the combination to the lock but my access was denied
Like Jacob, I’m walking this one out but holding on to my hip
“Angel, I won’t let you go even if it means tightening up my grip!”
My tears began to drip because to You they are prophetic
Wherever you go I’ll follow; wow, now that’s magnetic
It might be hectic, might feel neglected; but for you I’ve been elected
It was unexpected, might be rejected; but my life is Christ’s; therefore, it is reflected
I’m steadfast to your promise; it’s in your word that I hide
When you’re ready to turn this track over, Lord I know you’ll “show me the flipside”!
Broken Whole,
...
