Faster by David Stehlik
Quicker than sin catches you in trouble, I break the trail with a fast and burst the enemy’s bubble, can’t catch what you can’t see when I’m seeking out God with such sincerity, I desire to get away, God I want my soul cleaned, redeem me from the past, draw me closer to Thee. Let me rest in your holiness, the shadow of your love, I confess my unworthiness, God you are O so good.
That’s why I’ve proclaimed this fast; I wanna break away from all that’s past,
I wanna humble myself so that I don’t crash, I need your provision so that I’ll last
Seeking you out like my treasure, I want to be fed, not by the world but by Your holy Bread. I seek the living water that quenches my spirit’s thirst, gluttony here is the dead man’s curse. Sell your soul away for a 30 shekel purse. And so I call on your name, I read Your words everyday, I just need to hear Your voice and what you have to say, I need guidance and I need delivery soon, and so I declare a day where I abstain from food. Though I could abstain from drink, I could abstain from ink, I could abstain from sports, tv, or hyperlinks. Abstain from whatever takes over your idle time, from such idolatry begins to shine. Quickly slam its head by placing the Head first. God I need your presence lest I be lead into sin’s hearse.
That’s why I’ve proclaimed this fast; I wanna break away from all that’s past,
I wanna humble myself so that I don’t crash, I need your provision so that I’ll last
Sometimes I’m not sure how to reach you quick enough, I stepped off the path a ways back and felt that I was stuck. I heard a call to repent before the Lord’s wrath struck, I read about Nineveh’s fast and prayed with any luck, that I too would receive the mercy that you’ve given to all your children, many times passed, when you’d healed them, could have done anything, and even said you’d kill them, but when they fell on their faces and decided to “be still”, then you determined it was time to rebuild them. Well I pray the same, I want to be rebuilt in your name, better this time than I’ve ever been, closer to your ways like it was in my shoes you were walking in.
That’s why I’ve proclaimed this fast; I wanna break away from all that’s past,
I wanna humble myself so that I don’t crash, I need your provision so that I’ll last
I take a set time to dedicate my spirit and mind, to the Lord divine, I just want His light to shine through, instead of eating food I pray for a reverent mood, we generally don’t take His presence as seriously as He’s due. I feel ashamed just feeling like I have to place a break in the middle of my week just to take a moment to pray, shouldn’t everyday be worship-filled with praise, and so like this the Lord begins His change, in me another phase to see, a way for Him to clean out the depravity, it’s not like I was the one to decree, but the Lords made a decision and that I was just bound to be, a part of His plan set in motion by a man who because of a glimpse of doomed town, felt compelled to bow down, refrained from indulging in daily meals, stopped the enemy’s pursuit and was hidden in heaven’s veil.
That’s why I’ve proclaimed this fast; I wanna break away from all that’s past,
I wanna humble myself so that I don’t crash, I need your provision so that I’ll last
