He Who Has Ears

Will You speak to me Lord if I never ask?
And could I hear you without ever listening?
It's always seemed ideal to expect much for little
You are such a very big God, after all.
But don't I want to ask! Don't I want to listen!?
You are the merciful Creator of all; who numbers my hairs!
That You would want me is too joyous a thought
So if You would speak to me, I want to hear
Teach me to ask, encourage me to listen
Let my desire be for You; to walk with You in obedience.
Set me on paths of righteousness; all else is death.

He Will Level Your Path

Life is moving

And this is no stroll

This is fast; a sprint

And it’s been uphill for as long as I can remember.

I’ve never had any idea where I’m going

And I’ve never wanted to stop.

23 years of aimlessness.

I’m exhausted.  Praise God that I am tired!

He becomes my strength, and He levels my path.

I can see it stretch before me.  For the first time I know where to go!

There!  My path is solid and flat.  Laid out by God!

But with my new sight I gawk.  This path only leads so far.

Ahead.  Nothing.  My climb has ended.

Life is moving

It will not stop.

I run full-speed towards a precipice

What happens when I get there?

A leap of faith!  I will trust in my God, my Rock.

He will provide a path for me.

He will provide a path.
