Charting Off Course

I’m charting off course 
Off the beaten path
Trail blazing
And I’m not sure what will happen next
I’ve made my way to the unknown
The great expanse 
No rails, narrow cliff faces
God I’m out here and the decision in front of me isn’t clear
To go right or left 
I’ve made it this far and your still with me but I just want to hear
Sometimes I feel deaf
Could you please let me know 
Give me clarity 
If I lay out a fleece
Would you reassure me 
Not just once but a few times 
Don’t get angry at me please 
I feel like I need a miraculous sign 
Because you’ve called me to lead
My family and I feel like Gideon with the Israelite army 
Maybe I have less people under my charge than him 
But if there was a scale that could measure love 
It would likely be more than enough 
To compare concern
With a heart’s maximum yearn 
Your word is a lamp to my feet
A light on my path
Without it I don’t know how long I can last 
Without You I fail to compete In this fight that I’m in
I don’t know how long I can last
Without you holding my hand
Remind me of how close you are
And I’ll regain strength again 
Your spirit is intertwined
Like a vine wrapped around mine
When I’m in the storm of life
I often don’t recognize
That you are holding the fabric of everything 
All of the time 
In your presence every memory fades
The light of the sun pales to compare
Worries of the world loose their hold and I feel lighter than air
In you is the fullness of truth and grace 
The more I seek you, the more I find you
The more I find you, the more I know you
The more I know you the more I praise you 
And praise is a beautiful thing 
It magnifies the meaning of life
To glorify you is to lay down my life
To dedicate all that I have  
All that I am, my life being laid down as a living sacrifice 
Help me to pick up my cross and follow you
If knowing you is eternal life
Then what better way but to walk in your shoes 
Help me to live like you did 
To regain the pace in my race of faith
Casting off what so easily entangles 
Sin
And fix our eyes on the way the truth the life
Jesus 
When I do I stand on the waves 
Water is firm 
I’m not afraid of the cliff face
And I put one step forward
And another and another 
When I ask for a miracle 
In my mind I’ve already received it 
So I move forward as if I believe it
And have already achieved it
And it is mine 
Peace is found 
Love is found 
I don’t need to worry about things outside of my control
About tomorrow
One battle at a time 
One victory for today
One more page written in my story
I’m ok with that 
And I’m starting to rest
