From wander to wonder

 

What do you do?

When you wander aimlessly 

And the fire you once had was quenched

You are misunderstood even by your own

Rejected and cast away

You feel lonely and isolated

You feel you don't belong or can't connect

And deep inside you feel empty and spent

Tired yet going on from one day to the next 

Your past mistakes haunt you 

And an enemy that constantly attacks and doesn't back down

And a world that constantly tempts you or makes you feel that you are not enough 

And your thoughts that should be a friend but act like a foe instead 

It haunts you with a past that makes you see the sins and a heart that's scarlet red

Meet me "Great I am" in my wandering in this wilderness like you met Moses

And transform my I am's

Where mundane turns to musing

And despair turns to delight 

Where wander turns to wonder 

Where wilderness turns to worship

As you show me a bush burning and yet not consumed 

Reminding me you have interwoven your life and breath into mine

All the fiery trials that should have consumed me 

Yet it didn't 

Your love and spirit have kept my heart burning but not consumed

To refine the dust and create an imperishable faith 

Through the pain and suffering, which will not consume me

Except to be consummated by the Lord, who is an all-consuming fire
