Delight in You!

Be my highest desire Lord
May I delight in You alone
The Eternal one
My soul tends to cling to the earth that is fleeting
Open my eyes to see Your Beauty 
Help me understand Your Love and Sacrifice
That I longed for all along
This soul can only be satisfied in You
My Creator God
Not in the world that leaves me wanting more
So let me treasure You only
The length and breadth and depth of Your love
Displayed on the cross of Calvary
Where You gave Your all
In love for me
Came back to life and promised eternity 
So may my roots grow deep in You
By loving You with all of me
I know You're worthy of my adoration and worship
Faithful One who will never leave 

If I hope in a man they will pass
If I hope in my works it won't last 
If I hope in things it will soon perish
All my earthly gains are a loss
Compared to the surpassing worth of knowing You
Yes You are my greatest gain 
So May I be found in You

Make my heart a fertile ground to yield to You 
May I be like a tree planted by Your living waters
Full of life and bearing fruit in You
May Your law be my light that guides my wandering soul to You
May your law show your love for me
And bind my Heart to Yours
Keeping it wouldn't be a burden when I know it's your loving protection
And when storms come crashing in
May I stand rooted and grounded in You
My Lord, My Rock and My Redeemer!

Longing for forever!

 Being in the lockdown, I have come to appreciate the stillness, something I am not used to. Life gets so busy and it's like a monotonous routine. I almost felt like a hamster on a wheel. This period of rest has enabled me to slow down and appreciate the things I wouldn't notice because of busyness such as the birds outside my window, the sounds of them chirping every morning. Moreover, me wondering and reflecting as I used to when I was a child, I was so easily amazed at what I was learning. Growing up I somehow lost that and I feel like God is bringing me back to that place where I can be in awe of Him. In one of my conversations with my dear friend I mentioned- " Do you ever wonder why we say best friends Forever or I love you Forever? You know it's not strange that we long for Forever cause it is God who created us with that longing. In Ecclesiastes 3:11 it's written: God has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of...

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 inter...

Secret Garden

Guard the garden that's the genesis of my being The secret place where you formed me Guard my silence and solitude with you That's where you're doing a deep work of making me whole and Holy It's a privilege to be alone with you Jesus teach me to treasure You  You alone sit with me in the garden of my heart  And You yearn and delight to be with me May my wayward heart yearn for you and delight in you You wait gently to tend to the garden of my heart You violently uproot anything that obstructs our love and intimacy You want nothing to interrupt and put out the fire and pure passion of our communion You are jealous over the affections of my heart Like a bridegroom over the heart of His bride You alone are worthy of this wholehearted devotion Give me a heart that is purely devoted to you No one else knows me the way you do Nothing else can fix the mess in this garden Teach me to rejoice when you prune and uproot Father, you are the perfect gardener You're making this g...
