The Path into Your Presence

It was so natural to be independent and live for myself.

My thoughts were certainly correct.

I was a seeker of pleasure.

I was fine as long as I didn't look inside to see

The emptiness of activity.

I was really separate and alone.

I had no hope, no future, nothing really.

And the road I was on only went in one direction.

If I was so right why was my life so wrong?

But someone's prayers were answered and I became aware of my wretched condition.

And You took me, accepted me just that way.

The way I was.  Without pretense, without anything.

The only thing I brought was who I really was, nothing!

Somehow, even that realization was by Your hand.

And You accepted me.

You loved me while I was yet a sinner.

And You washed me with a washing that is still washing me.

And You filled me with a filling that is still filling me.

And You are loving me with a love that is transforming me.

I am staggered by the size of what You did, just for me.

You are too wonderful. 

You live in the smallest detail and You stretch my highest heaven.

I command my soul to thank You.

My heart leaps at another opportunity to praise You.

Everything I have, everything I will be is because of You Lord and Your love for me.

You are my life, my hope, my joy, my strength, my all, my everything.

You are my God, my friend, my redeemer, my light.

The reason I can laugh.

You are the reason I live and reflecting You is my life.

I must kept the path to You well worn and straight.

To be a shiny mirror is my mission, no distortion, no smudges.  To reflect Your glory!

No, it's not what I do that is most important, it's who You are!  And who You are in me.

My target is not to do that is most important, it's who You are!  And who You are in me.

My target is not to do, but to be with You.

Everything that I am, everything that I will be is because of You Lord, inside of me.

2 Cor 4:7-10
