I spent a few days last week horizontal, or running to the 15 minute reading room, needless to say it is a week I don't care to do-over. You are probably thinking, "too much information Lisa" yet it was in this down time and listening to K-Love on the radio that I heard one of their DJ's share the following poem by Blake Williams. It resonated with me and I want to share it with you. I was left with nothing but time to think, reflect, and pray about the message JD shared with me through Mr. William's words. I hope you'll take time to read them and let them absorb into your heart as you take a deeper look at your faith and faith walk. If you feel led, leave a comment below of how it touched you. "I don't really worship these days I don't really stand up to praise you with songs Or prayers or actions or with anything I am full of all the right moves I am full of all the right words I am full of all the right religion But it is all just illusion I am really Lonely Lost Calloused Jaded Cynical Too religious Too realistic and well...really just too lazy to worship you anymore I have lost my first love I have lost the joy of your presence But most of all I have lost the fear of your glory Father I need to see you again Like Isaiah I want to stand in awe of your glory To fall down at your feet To come face to face with your Perfection, Radiance, Goodness, Holiness, Awesomeness I want to stand before you and see you for who you are and me for who I am I want to be undone I want to know me for who I really am I want to see the depths of my heart And know that you are the only way You are the only truth You are the only life I want to see me and understand What it really must have taken for you to Love me Care for me See me Speak to me Want me Communicate with me Die for me Die for me Die for me Lord, I want to stand in that place where all I can see is your glory And my sin Because in that place I can't help but worship you. Lord let me come undone Undo my heart Lord, undo my heart break down these walls that I love so much No, wait don't! I'm scared I don't know if I can handle this Don't... But I can't live this way anymore I can't stand here in this half-life this going through the motions life this not really alive life Father, I need you... so come in and do what you must Cut out the tumor on my heart Break down the walls that I love Lord let me come undone Undo my heart let me worship you again" *Blake Williams If you feel led, leave a comment below of how it touched you. |
