This Holy Book, where life is found
Rips up the hardness in my heart’s ground
Voiceless pondering, things of old
Solitary mining for treasures and gold
Lonely places in a discarded life
Filling with redemption as the bride of Christ
Hope and mercy, graceful love
Lands on the runway from Heaven above
No need to hurry or scrape for a chance
Your desires are known by a Father’s glance
Abiding in strength, when others see weak
I am learning to listen to a Man who was meek
Yeshua, Jesus, Mighty Counselor, I Am
Light in the darkness, like pearls in a clam
A heart that is open, and eyes that will see
Partake in the goodness meant for you and me
Do you sleep in peacefulness, and wake full of joy?
Life is a gift, like a child’s Christmas toy
Morning by morning, new life and new day
Truth and purpose, on my knees when I pray
No matter your worry, your sins, or your doubt
This Lover of souls will not leave you without
Redemption comes to you right where you are
In the middle of darkness, in spite of the scars
The wounds that burn will find ways to inspire
Your path has been lit by God’s Holy fire
He will use you to bring justice and might
Take up your armor, and prepare to fight
Your orders were written in the ink of blood
Rise and renew what sin has undone
We will never be ready with perfection in view
But sowing with hope, He will make all things new.
