there is a storm brewing.
it is violent, i can feel it,
but God how do i stop it?
how do i trust the Prince of Peace when my life has been so rebellious?
how do i walk out into the storm when my legs can only take me as far as the edge of the boat.
You wait there, patiently for me,
while i tremble and i collapse under the weight of the storm.
where do i go?
how do i come to You again?
it's easy to be distracted by the storm around me, but harder to set my sights on You.
i dont have the ability to be calm anymore.
but You are the One who sees,
our Banner of hope and victory.
You are the overwhelming voice of comfort in my misery and pain, when i am caught up in the restless storms around me, you sing over me, like a Father who loves His child.
Your arms wrap around us like a blanket even when the storms surround us and the sky turns dark.
yes, somehow, even when the sky turns dark,
God, i can still see You.
if these walls could talk,
they'd start praising You, oh LORD,
for all that its seen You do.
today is the day of salvation.
i have something to tell you,
something that's been on my heart for so long and i desperately need you to hear it.
God is telling you to come back.
come back home.
you spend so much time fighting against Him, that you miss out on the fact that He's been fighting for you.
of course there are struggles and pains in this world, but Jesus said, "take heart, for I have overcome the world."
so take heart, and come back home, because you will restlessly search for your belonging, that is found only in Him.
'I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”'
John 16:33
When i thought i was lost,
You knew exactly where i was.
And when i cried out to You in despair,
Asking you to find me,
Oh LORD,
You had always been right there.
Hear the thundering voice of God,
Oh people of the earth.
Let the lightening strike the dead parts of you and raise them to life.
In spirit and truth we live and breathe.
Hear the thundering voice of God,
Let it awaken the life inside of you!
Hear the thunder roar!
Rise up,
Oh church,
let the lightening course through your veins.
Hear the voice,
The thundering,
Voice of God
and repent for the kingdom of Heaven is near.
My dear heart, why do you fight so hard for a world that only wants to see you fail?
Come back to your senses, and come back to your Father.
All will be well
In my weeping and grieving,
Mourning and despair,
I cry out to the Lord just like the psalmist did.
I wait and i wait, in my weeping and shame.
My guilt covers me like a blanket wrapped snugly around my body.
I wait and i wait, in my weeping and heartache.
My spirit longs for you, oh Lord
But my heart wants something else to comfort me.
Strip me of this anguish, as i tremble and ache.
In my weeping, you tell me to rejoice for Your glory will be seen from within.
You take the most broken and outcast into Your glorious family.
In our weakness, we rejoice for we rely solely on Your strength.
