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"
