Something Greater...

in a world of deception
something always in the way
a fog around our hearts
we are blinded from the Truth
open my eyes
i am ready for a purpose
no more pointless days
my stubborness holding me back
my fear keeping me from a call
at times its hard
giving up what never really mattered in the first place
but i live for something greater then myself
loved by the nails He bore
i turn my face up
no more will i see what deceives me
but i focus on what God says about me
i care only for His thoughts towards me
a future
a hope
finally a life that matters
living everyday for a purpose never failing
i see the world still
but now i see with eyes cleared
cleansed from the fog
pure in heart
i see the world the way He does
bowed in His presence
i live for something greater

You...

holding on to all Your ways
holding on to Your love
swallowed up by everlasting life
purity to our souls
trading lies for truth
the perishable for imperishable
trading death for life
even when a fire surrounds us
You hear our prayers
covered
protected
You are our fortress
our wall
blocking the enemy
the danger
the deception
You tore the veil
for Your people undeserving
bowed at Your presence
i surrender all i am
without You is death
with You is life
mercy overwhelming
captured by Your grace
i love you...
