So many times I can barely get into my closet and begin speaking before He comes and takes my breath away…it’s so overwhelming how He waits for us! Such anticipation in His heart to meet with us! If we only knew…if we could get this deep!!! We would never want to miss a date with Him! Such sadness He must have in His heart when we get so busy about His business….yet not sitting at His feet. Eventually the lack of the latter will show in the former. It must flow from our time with Him….or it will never be authentic and fruitful. I am so guilty many times of this…myself. Yet, today…He swept me away again…and yet again..I have fallen for Him…afresh. He is enough…He is enough…
There is a richness in solitude with darkened light
Quietly and patiently I wait Him to arrive
O my heart It’s captured and anxiously waits
For all of my peace rests in His embrace.
What joy He brings with Him
O tears often fall
He washes and rinses the war stains off
Singing sweet nothins as only He can
Brushing my hair and wiping my head.
My Commander and General He rides far and wide
Yet longs for the moment I come in the night.
Renewal and rain He pours from His hand
Restoring my heart till I rise again.
He knows when I’m weary and battle fatigued
He reminds me “it’s the cost of following me.”
I look in His eyes and know what He means
Then He takes my hand as I rise to my feet.
Strength I have placed inside your small frame.
All you must do is call on my name.
You have been chosen and marked by my blood
With power and authority to halt any flood.
