The following words are those of a new chorus I have written in an attempt to communicate the place I sometimes find myself . . . in the waiting. When it seems the Lord is silent, when the end isn't clear. In these times, however, I have found that He is just teaching me the urgent need for constant prayer, consistent communion, and renewal of my mind in His spoken Word. Every day of my life I need to be reminded of my utter dependency upon the person and work of Christ. Praise be unto God for His perserverant patience, faithfulness, and grace despite my tendencies to be faithless and lazy. He is always good. I am so glad He is not like me.

Bare and broken

until You clothe me

until You heal me.

Words unspoken

leave me empty

they leave me empty.

God, is mine not a noble longing?

To hear Your voice,

to hear You calling?

Lord, as my knees hit the earth,

I am seeing there's no worth in any other.

For You alone I wait in silence

Til these distant cries are covered

Covered.

Read Psalm 62:5-8

It will be good for your soul.
