an army of protection

I'll wait on You Lord (creator, redeemer, sustainer of the universe, all-loving, all-knowing, all powerful, sovereign God, Father in heaven who: died for me, for all; who is all goodness, all righteousness, pure justice, all-merciful and full of grace).  Take this heart and this body and make it Your home, live and breathe inside of it.  May your glory be praised in all words and all ways, may your light shine beyond the dim grey of my ways.  Conquer this heart and this mind, I need Your power and strength; I long for your goodness in the places that my humanity clings to.  Unbind my grip on the things that are not of you, please place Yourself at the forefront of my mind, as a soldier at the gate of my heart, the key at the entrance of my mouth and as an army in every fiber of my being; protecting and fighting for what is good and right and glorifying to You, Lord.

We spoke today,
You shared your dismay,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I am a wretch,
diserving of death,
I go my own way, I go my own way.

Your word is living breath,
and still I turn away?!
Help me today, help me today!

I surrender this heart
I give you my body,
And I pray, I pray.

Your light is within me,
Your very Spirit, living,
May you stay, please stay!

here again

I find myself here again,

My tears fall on Your feet again.

Only a moment you keep me here,

With bleeding heart You draw me near.

You ask me where I've been,
And you remind me of who you've been.

You tell me that I'm forgiven,
Undeserving of how I've been livin'.

You hold me in your right arm,
And keep me from eternal harm.

You ask me to follow You,
And I pray, Lord help me to.

You are victorious in all that You do,
I pray for Your light to shine through.
