Remember the Source

I am in a new world. I have a short guideline on how to survive. Those around me are walking the same path I am though we all seem to be taking different approaches to our circumstances. I ask myself "why am I here"? The answer seems to be caught in a haze. The clarity has been removed because I look through a lens of uncertainty. I continually adjust my perspective. I still have not come to the conclusion that all is worth it but I know that some is worth it. Can I feel both? Is one the goal and the other collateral damage that comes with the territory? Can I truly have that which is perfect for my destiny or will I always have that shadow that slinks close to the edge of my dreams? I am a thinker. I am a doer. I am a restless soul that is searching for that thing that matters most. I have my family. I have my relationships and church. I have my faith in God. I have my health that was once on the brink of death. I have my moments. Moments when all is well and I have the strength to continue. I have my doubts. Doubts that envelop me and taint my view. A view that is supposed to be a beautiful landscape filled with opportunity and happiness. I don't want to miss a thing. I don't want to stumble and fall away from the very thing that gives me purpose.

You are my source of life. I can't be left behind. No one else will do. I will take hold of you. I need you Jesus to come to my rescue. Where else can I go? There is no other name by which I am saved. Capture me with grace I will follow you. You are the source of life and I can't be left behind no one else will do. I will take hold of you. I will follow you. This world has nothing for me. I will follow you.

Falling on my knees in worship giving all I am to seek your face. Lord all I am is yours. My whole life I place in your hands. God of mercy humbled I bow down. In your presence at your throne. I called, you answered. And you came to my rescue and I want to be where you are.
My life be lifted high. My world be lifted high. My love be lifted high. I called, you answered and you came to my rescue and I want to be where you are.

In the quiet in the stillness I know that you are God. In the secret of your presence I know there I am restored. When you call I won't refuse. Each new day again I'll choose. There is no one else for me. None but Jesus. Crucified to set me free now I live to bring him praise. In the chaos in confusion I know you sovereign still. In the moment of my weakness you give me grace to do your will. I am yours and you are mine. All my delight is in you Lord. All of my hope all of my strength.

I owe my life to the maker of heaven and earth. Only you can satisfy my soul. I need you more than anything. I love you more than anything. Anything.
I will listen to your voice. The voice of the one I love. He is calling my name. Come up higher and hear the angels sing. Come up higher my beloved. Come up higher leave this world behind You find me to be beautiful. I am running, Running after you. You have become my souls delight. Here with you I find my life.
