Your Ways (Praise Flow)

Yahweh, You are like chocolate after a long fast
Joy after such an endless time of being sad
But I have seen what it's like
To have windows after living in the dark
And now I see the light
I am and You are

Expansion after being confined
Sanity after losing my mind
Freedom after being locked away in the dark
Faith after living in fear
After loneliness, You are here
And now we are one.

Vision after being so blind
No longer worrying all of the time
Stepping into new territories
Knowing You are near
And now I can be me
At peace with all I see
Knowing You've taken it all and made it redeemed

Flowing in purpose, not hiding in pain
Knowing You're worth it, I'd do it again
Your promises sure and always sustained
I am because You are

The biggest blessing I've ever known
Being able to relate to You as a son
Though You're so much bigger than I can perceive
You've come in order to relate to me
And I know that You love me
And I know You are here
And I never have to doubt again
Or push away Your hand

Life so beautiful, even more so
For knowing now what I never thought I could know
Seeing in person what started by faith
No wonder You made the world work this way!
You're absolutely brilliant and all that you know
I must simply trust until you choose to show
What You have done is so infinitely grand
In every moment You have a hand
Even though sometimes I don't understand
I trust You to be God and I'll be human
Because through that trust when I finally see
It's more beautiful than I thought that it could be
But that beauty's something You knew all along
While I was still fighting not to be wrong
Thank You for doing what You've always done
For creating such beauty, for making us One
I love how Your world works, Your process, Your law
And I will keep walking in it; I won't stop
Sustained by my faith until my eyes can see
Anchored in You, I can live and just be.

Dust

 Dust is inherently spiritual, As we see from the fact that matter and energy inhabit both sides of the equals sign In the relative equation of life And though I was taught to value the things of the spirit beyond the things of the earth And then vilified for doing that too much , Still, I came to a place where I could be aware that they are and always have been the same   Dust to dust, As they say, And “from the dust you came, to dust shall you return,” But what happens to dust after dust it becomes? In thousands of years when the dust is pulled together again By the turbulence, gravity, mass, and heat That create the stars themselves So that we are born from the dust anew Even as we will one day return to the dust again In the neverending cycle of beginnings and endings, Perhaps dust is the constant in all of this change, And perhaps as we sweep it away with a rag on a Saturday morning, Or bury it in the ground on a Tuesday afternoon, Stare at it in the mirror on a Monday before wor

Fears

Sometimes I feel like I am surrounded by enemies, dancing all around me Screaming Shouting into my head, into my heart In the mornings before school, And at night before bed When I can't stop thinking, can't stop thinking of all the mistakes I could make tomorrow, Remembering all the mistakes I made today, and yesterday, and the day before that one The times I screamed at kids, failed to motivate them, The times I didn't teach them anything or made them feel stupid And the enemy screams and shouts and pounds his drums In a frenzy And all I can hear is how awful I am And how I should quit and stop and leave and go And it's hard to hear the still, small, quiet voice of truth in my head, In my heart, Telling me what I've known all along, but forgot Forgot, forgot, forgot In the frenzy and pounding and screaming of the fears That tell me that I don't deserve to be here And what difference do I make anyway? But He just spoke to me yesterday, tol

Editing

It's so interesting to read something I wrote a year ago and see the seeds of the Revelation I have now planted there, To be able to trace over time The Path that Yahweh has shown me and through which He has grown me To see the seeds of Infinity in words upon a page, And I wonder what seeds are in me now, And what they will look like when they come to full fruition, How they will blossom and bloom And completely change my life and the lives of those around me, How they will make all things new and better and more Real Because Yahweh is in them, in me Even now, And oh the marvel and glory at how He chooses to plant His seeds, The perfection of growth, That all circumstances must come together perfectly for fruition, Sunlight, good soil, pure water, Truth, Spirit, Faith, All mixing as One to produce the perfect conditions for Harvest, And even the process is its own beautiful creation, That the product is its own beauty, but the process another, A double port
