Imagine where those feet have walked
Imagine where those bones have stood
Imagine who those arms have held
Imagine who those hands have held
Imagine for a moment
All of humanity, stretched out
Like a canvas, or a novel
Like a page in a book to be read
Imagine who has read that page
I stand amidst battle cries
Armies raging all around
I cannot help, but hear the sound
Of others screaming, victory
But yet in my heart, I know the truth
I am no warrior still
I have not the heart, nor the will
To fight for that, which I know is right
So who am I?
Am I a warrior?
Or a saint?
Do I, with all my soul paint
An image for a greater purpose or
Do I simply muddy the canvas with
My broken spirit, torn by the flesh
Doing only that which I, think and feel as best.
For I am, truly broken
I am sorely lost
Given over to my fantasies
I delight, in all the wrong
Toiling under blazing sun, all the day long
For that, which is putrid
For that, which feels right
But in the end, will leave me broken and
Torn up beyond repair, far more lost than I ever planned
Truly, truly I am lost
I am no warrior still
So what purpose can I serve
What can I do?
What good or noble thing, lest it be by you?
For I am sorely lost, so sorely lost without you
So God in heaven, hear me
Hear my broken song
Help me to cry out, my soul to wholly long
From the deepest places, for You and only You, declaring
My God, my God
Fight for me!
You’ve called me to battle, but
I am no warrior, nor a saint
I cannot rhyme, nor sing
Or do anything apart from you
Oh God in heaven
I cannot fight, I can scarcely stand
Nor even look, up to your hand
I can only cry, here at your feet
My God, my God
Fight for me!
For I’ve heard, in holy places that
You, oh Lord
Fight for us and
Even make, intercession
For our broken souls.
Crying out, for mercy in
Spite of, our brokenness
Bringing justice, yet mercy the same
So please, my God, my God
Pray for me!
High Priest of heaven
You who wear, the victor’s crown
Slain, and risen Savior
Do, as only you can do
Bring life to my depravity
Bring purity, to my sinfulness
Bring fire, bring water
Bring all of you, that I might be
Wholly Yours, my God, oh God
Have mercy upon me
Please would you come
I am no warrior
I am no saint, without You, I am lost
I am not worthy to even speak your name, and yet
You know my heart the same
So great, and mighty God
Come do, as only You can do
Take these broken pieces of a life and
Fill it, with Your blood
That I may be, my own no longer
No longer sold out, to worldly pleasures but
Wholly given, wholly surrendered
Fully, in Your arms
That I may be, Yours, and only Yours, my God
Move in me I pray
Jesus, God of heaven, with all I am I’m asking
Would You come, would you move in me the same?
I know I am broken
So easily, recklessly lost
But yet your blood has made a way
For me to be made whole
Your word has promised, that I
Even one as broken as I, can come
In repentance, to Your throne of mercy and
Find rest, in You alone
In You, the great Mystery, in You who is
Even singing, over me
Jesus, I’ll rest in You alone, for it is You
You who are fighting for me
If I am not on fire
How can I convince others to burn?
If I am not thirsty for God
How can I get others to drink of living water?
If I am not hungry for His Word
How can I bring others to eat?
If I am not with God
What am I, what have I
But dust
But ashes of a broken man
Truly
I need a resurrection
Truly
I need fresh fire
Truly
I need a revelation of You
My God
Come burn in me again
Such fire I have never known
Come shake me with such passion
For those lost that I
May weep
As I have never wept before
Make me hunger
Like I have never hungered
Make me thirst
As I have never thirsted
Make me that
Which I have never been before
Make me Yours
Take me deeper into You
Lord make us desperate
And bring us back to You!
What I find,
To be, most mysterious
Most perplexing, and most wonderful is
The truth, of the God we serve
The character,
And nature, of who He is
The goodness,
And the beauty of His name
Found, therein
There, in the secret place
For what I find there,
Is Him
He is there, in the secret place
Waiting for us, to call on Him
Waiting for us, to run to Him and
Taste and see that He is good!
Greater than any worldly pleasure
Greater than any fleshly lust
Greater than any lie of the enemy
Greater even than our hearts!
He is,
He is enough
And He waits, for us to find
Him, and all He is
There,
In the secret place He waits
For us, to run to Him
For us, to find Him there
For He,
He is enough
And He alone is good
So run to Him, call on Him alone
For He waits
There for us
A beautiful, mystery
A wonderful enigma
He is,
Truly
The only Mystery worth pursuing
The only dream worth chasing
The promise of Him
Enough to keep us steady
The promise of Him
Enough to keep us coming
Running, after Him
For He, He alone is worth the fight
He alone,
Is worth it all
So keep chasing Him,
Him who waits
And even,
Chases us
A Mystery
An enigma
May we never, be satisfied
With anything, less than Him
For He alone,
He alone is worth it all
May we call, on Him again
May we run, to Him again
And find Him there,
There, in the secret place
Where He waits
For us there
Where He waits,
For us, to come and find Him
Playfully, lovingly
Calling
Us to keep on coming
To keep on chasing Him
A beautiful Mystery
A mysterious Lover
May we cling, to Him alone
May we run to Him again
The only Mystery, worth chasing
The only God, worth pursuing
Who even, waits for us
To call, on His name
And will meet us
When we call on Him
Who allows Himself to be found
There, in the secret place
Run to Him, call on Him
He alone, He is enough
He is all we need
When words fall short to utter
Truths, of praise to God in Heaven
Sing but one name, speak with one voice
The name, above all names
The name of Jesus Christ
When world around falls apart
And nothing still remains unshaken
Sing, to heart and soul, to mind and body that
Name, too beautiful, to comprehend
That name of Jesus Christ
When pains, so deep
Rend tears in heart, beyond repair
And words fall short to utter grief
Speak, and sing that name, that perfect name
Of the Savior Jesus Christ
For He, in Himself, is enough to cover us
He is enough, to heal our broken hearts, and too
Utter that which we cannot, and create in us
A heart of praise and adoration, not possible without Him
To make our brokenness, into beauty
To turn our mourning, into joy
To take our sins, our failures, our shame
And make us new beneath His holy blood
For He, is enough
He is sufficient to cover us, to carry us
He is enough to keep us His
Enough to see us home to Him
Not by our merit, or our own worth, but by
His own strength and power and
By His great, unending mercy
By His love, and grace are we
Free to be His own!
So praise that name, above all names
Glorify, that God in Heaven who
Came and gave, Himself for us
Who is, more than enough
All we could ever hope for,
More than we could ever dream
Endless, and boundless as the sea
Whose greatness goes beyond the skies
Praise Him, and call upon that name
That name, above all names
The name, of the only Begotten Son
Of our Healer, our Savior, our Redeemer, our King
The name of Jesus Christ alone
Praise Him forevermore
For He is enough
Cling to that name alone!
Jesus, Jesus
Father we look to You.
You are our only One
The only One we could ever need
Jesus, Jesus
Oh how we need You
How we need You again
For You are our only One, our only Hope
Jesus, we need You again!
Speak to us again we pray
We have no good, apart from You
Jesus, fill us with Your love
Oh how we need You again!
Only You are faithful and
Only You are good
Jesus, we look to You
How we need You again!
Oh God in Heaven,
Maker of Heaven and Earth
We are desperate, we are calling
We are in need of You
Children perish in mothers’ wombs
Youth end their lives at will
Our nation, is dying
Our children, are crying out
God, we need You again
There is no other way
To see these lost brought home
To see these broken, restored
To see this nation back to You
It is only You, it is only You
Only You can save us
So God, we are asking
God, we are pleading
God we need You again
So remember us, as we walk
Daily these forsaken halls
These places, few have dared to tread
Yet daily suffer inside these broken places
Remember us, as we go
About our days, and let us see
Let us see those crying out
And may we point them back to You
Remember us, as we stand
And make our pleas to You
As we cry, save our generation
As we ask, heal these broken ones
For God, we are in need of You again
Lord, we can’t go on like this
Shake us, shake us
To see, as You see
To ask again, for Your heart
For these lost, and dying ones
That they, may find You
Lord, we pray
Remember us
That You may, be glorified
That we, may come home to You
And see this lost generation back
To You, to You
God, there is no other way
We need You, we need You
God we need You again
And forgive us for, ever thinking we
Could go on, happily
Without You daily with us and
Without Your Spirit inside us
We see now, we cannot go on
I will not take another step, lest You
Lest You go with me and
Lest I have You by my side
We cannot go on, there is no other way
God, we call on You again
Remember us, as we pray
And heal this broken, generation
Remember us we pray
Give me something that I may chase
A dream that I may pursue
A thing, greater than I
A thing I have never known
Give me something to chase
Show me a better World
I am desperate, and I am hungry
Give me more than I can know
I have nothing
Yet I have it all
The world has given me momentary happiness
But my soul, it longs for more
I am starving for purpose
I am desperate for a dream
Give me that which I have never known
Yes, give me that I have never seen
For I know, what world does offer
I know what path has wrought
All the world has given me
Is broken bones and shattered heart
My soul, it thirsts
Yet I know not where to look
Give me a purpose, lest I die
Give me more
Give me that which I have never known
For I am desperate
I am starving
My soul, it calls for that
That which I have never known
Give me Jesus. Give me Jesus.
Give me Him which I have never known
Give me He too wonderful for me
For I know, there is no other thing
I know there is no other way
So give me Him, give me this Jesus
Lest I die and fall to hell
For I know no other way
And my soul, it must have Him
Lest I die and fall to hell
Give me Him which I have never known
Give me Jesus. Give me Jesus
Him I have never known, yet my soul calls for
Give me reason, give me way
To seek Him in my life
I know not how to find Him but
I know He will find me
So I ask, dear God in Heaven
Give me You I have never known
Give me this Jesus.
For I am in need of You.
