I raised up a mountain fortress
But its foundation was faulty
It crumbled and great was its ruin

I drank up the ocean
But it was bitter
And it choked me and burst me apart

I flew across the horizon
Away from You
Away from all suns
And I was lost in the void.

Find me
On the barren crag of my own making
Find me
Beyond The walls of fear I built
Find me
At the end of the wastelands of loss
Earth parched and suffocated by the tears of bitterness

May roots of life break through the salt crust
May the dead-gray sky break open
And kiss me with the rain
Of faithfulness and Love
Of truth that never fails
Of the Everlasting Arms
Of the One who Lifts My Head

Ancient of Days, vast beyond knowledge
Whose fingers split the light from darkness
Cleave electrons from their atoms
And knit my flesh and bone and sinew
Whisper Your purpose
Whisper Your love
Find me
Redeem me
