Bending wings against the outer realm,
Realizing dreams are reduced to Loving God,
Above all my hope in dreams have become,
Dreams of Hope in Love.
Clipped wings, falling straight down,
Bound by the flesh and the world which consumes,
I’ve misused my faith and gone astray,
Swayed from the love which feeds to the
sin that leads to death.
Climbing back on track,
before we reach the depths below,
Slow is this track back to His Glory,
My story is not finished yet Nate!!
Father please restore to me my place in your kingdom,
I’ve known no other freedom with a foundation,
Such a foundation based on this relationship,
No money or muscle could get me there,
No war, power, or fame, and no conjured blame,
Could I point my finger to for the Stray!!
I alone missed the mark Lord! Me!
Flew past it in pursuit of the dark,
Found that in this stride I let slide,
the one thing that made this life mine, You!!
A Love that satisfies any lust,
A love that frees us from the by product of mis-trust,
A love that gives us the ability to Love our neighbors,
and hate the sin.
A love that begins and ends in thanks on our knees,
in thanks to our dreams
in thanks to our friends,
in thanks to our future and our memories.
You, father, are the reason for hope,
I am the dope that dropped the ball,
Begging forgiveness and the return or your ring
upon my naked hand,
I’ve not crash landed to my death yet,
Help me to lean on you,
Rise above the filth that i trudge through,
and be the man you once knew.
Here I am Lord pick me,
Standing on my knees to give you everything,
A dirty heart in Hand,
Help me to understand my foe,
Woe is me, who feigned his trust in Thee,
and let go of this only worthy dream.
I stand before you broken and contrite,
Fallen without a fight,
Arm in arm with the untrusting lust of the world,
and hurlded into Hell on earth.
Jesus let my death be more glorious than my earthly birth,
Help me to trust in your Spirit, Oh Lord!!
With Sword in hand,
and able to stand in the midst of adversity and shame,
Tame my heart and strengthen my soul,
for you Lord and only you can make me whole.
