mmmm yeah

Rock under my feet, hold me and rock me to sleep,
Keep me in Your presence always, tend this wayward sheep.
With blessings kiss my cheeks, open my mind to let your Wisdom seep,
From what You've given, I work so that you can reap,
For from what You've given I've been living, and it's You I desire to keep.
Instill Your will within my feet, to walk the path of the drum you beat,
To taste of your love so sweet, to suffer for You, my treat.

I truly suffer not, for already You suffered for my lot,
You brought me to this spot, and with Your blood you bought
Me, falling though You caught me,
Hidden, though conviction sought me,
In Your Wisdom, taught me
To live a great life in You, all I can do, is give You my all, much less than You're due.
But of course, this troubles me not at all,
For I know how much I've gained since I was redeemed from such a dreadful fall,
And I know that I cannot understand that vast increase,
Brought to life through Christ, from death I've been released.

Jesus is the Rock upon which I stand, set upon when taken from the sinful quicksand,
The day is at hand, raise up your eyes to see the descent of the Son of Man,
Glorious, abounding, love envelops all surrounding, mercy overtakes us,
Like rushing waters, sounding.
Hear my tears, see my downcast face. Lift me up to your Most High place,
Hide me in the shadow of your wings, pour love over me, satisfy me with your everything.
Bless me with your word, may I have unmerited favor in your sight, lead me in your paths than I might glorify you right,
That the world may see, and that they'd give you due praise, glory to the King, glory to His name.

Though lost in pools of trial, we'll persevere. When we've stood the test, we'll be crowned with life, that precious gift so dear.

Praise Him, Praise Him

The Ancient of Days

I've not been feeling the greatest lately, not specifically in health, but rather I've been not particularly in the mood to write much poetry. I've been sticking to the Word, and I've been reading other books too - alongside going to class, playing sports, writing papers and hw of course, and relaxing too. May this return to me soon :)


God bless,
