word one response

the season of trusting and believing
has, indeed, come!

why do you speak out so loud now?
why do you answer my questions?
why are you so involved with me?
why do you care?
why are you concern?

truly, truly!
the season of trusting
the season of believing
the season of listening
the season of grace
has finally come...

should i linger?
must i despise?

i confess...
my unbelief
my unreadiness
my unwillingness
as i hold on the reins
of my heart
of trusting myself
more than i trust you

i surrender
i lay down my life
in all its wickedness
before your throne
of love, of grace!

now...
i rejoice
i embrace
i receive
i celebrate
as i glory in you
alone!

i did not seek you
but you found me
i did not love you
but you loved me
i did not honor you
but you honored me

how great is this love!

so, i go on in life
so, i move on this life

i go with that same love
that same grace
that same memory
that same experience
that same track record
of love, of grace

forgive me, please
have mercy on me
help me to listen to you!

pains from people
pains given and received
suffering...

moving on
unknown
faith

sacrifice
can i ever drink this cup?
