Section #1
Sometimes, many times, it seems like life is hard, and I'm not getting anywhere, and why do I have to deal with all this?
However, while on my missions trip, something that should of been fundamental to me, was made more clairvoyant.
The desire of my heart.
The desire of my heart, as I cry out to God many times, is to know Him better, and serve Him more. Yet it seems so hard, why? I constantly make mistakes, and seem to fall away from him.
Whenever I run up against a brick wall, it hurts, I have to turn around. Of course, sometimes I run into that wall a couple times to make sure it's solid and not moving, just in case. What I see when I eventually turn around is God, providing me with brick walls so that my greatest wish, desire, longing may be gratified.
It's so easy to see the brick wall, and get frustrated with God for putting it there, or to be dealing with difficult people, or situations, and wonder "why me? I'm just trying to serve Him" But each obstacle I encounter only makes me lean more heavily on Him, to provide me with strength and endurance.
If it is *really* *truly* the desire and longing of your heart to get to know Him better, then He will grant that. He desires that we long after Him as well. Sometimes He chooses methods we wouldn't, in order to bring us closer to Him, but we should consider ourselves blessed, although the times are troubling, He is fulfilling the desire of our hearts, and we should rejoice in it.
Section #2
We Come To You :
As You came to us so we come to You
fragile as a baby hopeful and new
but learning fast that to walk is to fall
soon we’ve done it all
Chorus:
we come broken and we come undone
we come trying hard to love everyone
but we come up short in all that we do
because we do
so we come to You
As You came to us so we come to You
dirty and hurting then dead in the tomb
but raised redeemed to show off the scars
‘cause You’ve brought us this far
Chorus:
we come broken and we come undone
we come trying hard to love everyone
but we come up short in all that we do
because we do
so we come to You
Tag:
You came to show the way not around but *through*
so through it all we come to You
