I wrote this awhile back but it still speaks to me so I thought I'd share :)
But for eternity
5/18/2008
I've been wrestling with faith as faith wrestles with me
to usher me into my destiny
Abraham waited for promises
God put deep in his heart
planted by God himself
they would not depart
Promises were a long time in coming
for this man of faith
and I'm sure he had no idea
how long he'd have to wait
Simeon had no peace until he held the promise in his arms
Until his own eyes saw salvation
until he spoke revelation
about the child's destiny
and the sign he would be
Anna waited all her life praying night and day
while watching and waiting for the promise to finally come her way
When God speaks a promise
a holy dissatisfaction resides
until the promise is fulfilled
nothing can fully satisfy
Jesus you're the only way
on this narrow path day by day
to keep me strong to go your way
You are my strength you are my song
that speaks to my heart all day long
With humility I stand on the promises of God
no matter how hard this journey may be
cuz these promises aren't just for me
but for eternity
And this is my hope for sure
that in the end faith will win
and God's bride will be made pure
