So riddled and burdened I fall to my knees
In fear and pain, through tears I fervently offer my pleas
When I can do naught but sit and shudder
The Spirit intercedes with words I cannot utter
Moved to my core, yet no words can I speak
At such moments, the Spirit ministers to the meek
My soul soon finds rest in His hiding place
Through no power of mine, but by His grace
When we expect some spectacular sign from on high
Instead, He speaks with a still, small voice to draw us nigh
How blessed are we, who have received Him
In our weakness, He gives us strength and vim
Sin still seeks to pull us away, but it cannot hope to contend
For the Light of men defeated sin and death, hastening their end
In the Holy Spirit, we receive our inheritance
Only through Him does one give Jesus reverence
When doubt rears its head, He casts it down
And reminds me I received a righteous crown
Through no mighty or heroic works of mine
The crown I wear, was given me by one Divine
Simple. Reverent. Beautiful. Poignant.
ReplyDeleteI think some of David's early work out in the fields probably sounded like this.
Keep it coming, Brother.
