The more we get to know HIM, the less we have to fear

Monday Message

You say, "Go"
and I am like a stone
Frozen in fear
in the depths of the unknown
 
You say, "I am here"
Yet, I cannot feel you near
Because of this wall
Built by bricks and tight ropes

My own ship 
I do steer
and when the storms come
The sails rip to break of the waves
Leaving me to fret
To stew in dismay
 
and then I cry out 
and then I do pray
When all along 
You were there 
Standing on the shore
Walking in the bay
 
A rock 
and A fortress
A King mighty to save
 
But my ship 
I can't steer
My control lost 
Caught 
In a rudder
as I scream, "shift into gear!"
 
To no avail
As I stumble
and I fail
 
and as my ship sinks
I lose all hope 
I am on the brink 
Ready to drown in a vast, endless sea
Let me feel my own self-inflicted agony
 
For this I do deserve
The full weight 
The full girth 
 
But my Creator
You have known me
Even before birth
and my mere existence on this earth
Is not simply to live 
But to give
 
My whole heart
My full trust
For when I feel that gust 
Of pure wind
and I begin to slowly slip 
Your voice whispers
"Dive in"
 
and as I sink and I swim
Treading the waters
Shedding my sin
You walk on the sea 
and say, "Rise, Darling, 
Come to me 
For in this life 
I Am All
“I AM WHO I AM and,
WHAT I AM, and 
I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE:”
All that you will ever need 
Trust in that 
Trust in Me
Believe

“And God said to Moses, I AM WHO I AM and WHAT I AM, and
I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE; and He said, You shall say this to the Israelites: 
I AM has sent me to you!” – Exodus 3:14
