For Those Who Walk

Circumstance tries to dictate that what we've been dealt is defeat
But as I hear His laugh reverberate from the throne
Whispering in the winds and rattling the mountains
I hear only victory.

Not even in death is there defeat.

As we gather, Your fire stirs
The ground begins to shake
and the earth, removed.

No pain
No hurt
No grief
Can stand up
to Your mighty name.

I wear this fire
like the clothes on my back.
Nothing will douse Your love, Your grace

Not pain
Not hurt
Not grief
Not death.

This ‘mountain’ before us is merely a mound of sand
That will flatten under the weight of [ Y ]our arrival.

Earth movers
Ground shakers
Mountain splitters
and Giant slayers
Be not silenced

But fill the air
With praise
And the sky
With fire.

Staring Uphill

There are things to fear
and things to hide

And where does it put me.

Where do i stand

When i stand in fear

Of all that surrounds me

how can i stand

When i knowingly ingest sickness

And hope to stand unharmed

Who am i

To think i am exempt

That i am immortal

i am no god

i am finite

i have a beginning

And i have an end

And my end comes

When i stand in pride

My beginning starts

When i bow down

Before You

When I Can't Feel Anything

i couldn’t feel You in the wind

i couldn’t feel You in the impassioned words

i couldn’t feel You in the drum beat

i couldn’t feel You in the rain

i couldn’t feel You in the heartfelt lyrics

i couldn’t feel You in the glow of lights mixed with dust that night

i couldn’t feel You in the passion of those around me

i couldn’t feel You in the music

i couldn’t feel You in the images displayed

i couldn’t feel You in the lasers, the smoke and the mirrors

i couldn’t feel You in the heat

i just couldn’t feel You in those moments

but that didn’t stop me from knowing

that You were there

that You are here

that You will be here

that You inspire heartfelt lyrics

that You stir up the winds

that You remove the dust from my eyes

that You cause rain to fall

that You shake the earth

that You stand, unmoving

that You will never end

that You are King of kings

and that You still move in moments when feeling is fleeting

When i can’t feel anything

i can’t help but sit in silence

knowing that You’re still there

no matter what i feel.

long live the King

forever is Your reign
