Where do I stand in this desert place
When unspoken words fall between us
Built this seemingly impenetrable glass wall
As I stare in desperation at Your face
On the other side.
Worn and weary I am shackled
By invisible chains of lies and deceptions
As I beat mercilessly upon this barrier
Till my struggling cease and I fall
On my knees.
And I scream, Oh Lord!
I scream into the voiceless nights
Till my voice is hoarse and my tears flood
Till my broken heart pounds again with passion
Oh Lord, my Father, my God.
Oh my Lord Jesus
Won’t you speak?
Won’t you meet with me?
And break these chains and heal these hurts?
I plead.
Within the quiet a still voice whispers
Do you remember the day He died and arise
The reason of His sacrifice?
Do you remember when you first fell in love with Him
The dance in the flower fields within the breeze?
Oh have you forgotten
The many times you’ve cried
Where He is within each tear that falls
And the moment when He wraps His arms around you
In His peaceful embrace?
Oh how sweet the surrender
When you laid your head upon His lap
Listening to His gentle voice
When all fear and sadness melts away
From just a touch of His hand.
He is never too far to reach
Even when you have strayed
He is only a breath away
When you call with repentance
When all pride is stripped away.
Oh His love is never changing
Neither does it wanes
Even when you turn the other way
He welcomes you into His arms
When you run to His throne again.
My beloved Jesus
Renew my love for You once more
Let all Your delights be my joy
A fresh outpouring of Your Spirit
That fills this emptiness.
