Cling to the Promise - August 03, 2011

Sun rises in soul

Full of worry

Inadequacy knocks at the door

Prayers held hostage



Cast this soul to the wind

Look to the horizon

Refreshing breeze stirs hope

Cling to promise of your presence



Emotions follow winds

With every kind of weather

Wander through deserts and mountains

Ever-changing terrain brings us no peace



Lost grip of this holdfast

An unshakeable anchor

That holds no matter the storm

Calling out for a reprieve



Drifting at sea

And searching the distant horizon

For signs of imminent rescue

Clinging tenaciously to hope



Reason fails to explain

Logic comes up empty

Worldly wisdom proven foolish

Answers found in potter’s hands



Broken and reformed

Melted down and recast

An object of lowly use

Remade for master’s hands



Failed hope and misplaced trust

Excised and washed clean

In their place a new creature

Childlike faith it’s very breath



Refreshing breeze lifts weary spirits

Raises eyes to Savior’s gaze

Bends knees not for executioner

But for eternal gratitude



Fill life’s sails

With promises of eternity

Not spent in unquenchable darkness

But in the glow of eternal promises fulfilled
