we will never stop pursuing and praising You
i wrote this while at a recent prayer event for Fullness DC. a special thanks to all the organizers and amazing people that put this together.
you are worthy
you are God
you came for us
you died for us
you showed us humility
you showed us what it means to touch a heart
you rescued us from desire
you poured out your love for us
you sacrificed and suffered the worst death
you had your hands nailed so we could raise ours towards the Father
you had your feet nailed so we could stand again with conviction, love and light in our hearts
you patched up our souls with the light of simplicity
you wrapped our souls in redemption and gave us the strength to forgive, surrender and let go
you give us the strength to be carried by you
you give us endless worth and comfort
you give us one thing to praise and rejoice in that shines through world’s sea of confusion and many
you give us rest and ease in a world of hurry and anxiety
you stay patient with us when we look away and create moments for us to turn back
you never turn your back on us
your face is always forward to us
welcoming us, waiting on us and inspiring us to wait on you
you are our champion
there is no one like you
oh Lord there is no one like you
you stand beside us when we fall into the trap of doing something on our own
no matter where we go you are always there
Emmanuel, Emmanuel, Emmanuel, Emmanuel

our praises rise to please and warm your heart
we are on our knees asking what pleases you?
how can we see you now and more fully?

when our shoulders slump your gentle touch rolls them back up to you
we see and pursue you oh Lord…all the days of our life
thank for you never stopping the pursuit of us

thank you for seeing us
you see every part of us and love us so fully
thank you for providing rest and the security of your name…the one and only name
the one name oh Holy God
we are on our knees
we pour out the oil on this day and all the days of our life for you
we are on our knees now seeking your light
to serve you
love as you do
wrapping our hearts around our neighbors
thank you for showing us the way
lighting the Way
being our Way
