In the strain of the present, the weights, the worry,
Outstretched wings of grace hide me and keep me.
Your heart can hold mine,
can steady the frantic pulse of my worries.
Your arms can sweep through the air and lift mine from the depths
to sing.
Beaming with a shine too magnificent to behold,
my heart is ignited, my face to shine the glory of my new life in You.
Joy? I never once knew it until I entered the presence of my King,
until I caught even a glimpse of Your gaze,
a touch of Your Spirit filling and consuming my soul.
Can I turn my gaze above?
Above the earth You reign in might and glory,
Lifting my scrambling feet from the sprint,
to fly in the freedom of grace and trust.
Placing mighty hands upon my shoulders,
I can rest inside the stronghold and fortress of my God
who goes before me.
With a fierceness and jealousy I will never comprehend,
You consistently battle for my life.
I need only halt my heart from being carried into the future
for it is in the present Your fullness is pleased to dwell.
Better is one day, one moment, one glimpse of the Kingdom.
Calling out to be known, Your presence to be felt.
To behold this for all of my days.
A promise made and sealed, a love confirmed.
I need only return to You to be restored double.
For your own sake, pour out Jesus
because You are worthy.
For your own glory, shine upon a desolate and weary land,
for all to taste and see this splendor I pray.
Can I pour my heart out to You in expectation of Your healing truth to restore and direct my steps?
Can I turn my gaze above to find Your gentle and fierce gaze looking upon me in love?
Faithful and just,
strong and true You are.
Love calling out to me on my knees.
Pouring unceasingly into a thirsty heart,
You lavish the living water that satisfies,
that rushes over the cracks and dried bones and remnants of my old life.
Come and fill this heart, Jesus.
You're calling out to be heard and You will not stay silent.
Lift our heads, spark our voices to sing to You, to seek Your presence.
Your presence is our pursuit, our heart cry
To make it known the prayer upon my lips from this day forward.
