My constant thoughts are draining
In need of sifting and straining
To be rid of the wicked things I think
To clear the air
So I can hear The Lord speak
So many conflicting emotions
Leave my heart singing
For better devotion
The wars of this world seem minuscule
To the battles of my spirit
Eternal blessings in full defense
Towards damnations many battalions
Legions of demons
Listen and position
Ready to strike
Like the venomous bite
Memories battle my promises
This fear of man
now lamely attempting
to stand up against
my fear of The Lord
Though quickly and simply defeated
It retreats to gain respite
After what seems to be little resting
It too soon comes back for more
So I focus to search for my healer
And find Jesus within the quiet of my renewed spirit
But this world doesn’t want me encouraged
It does not want me to commune with Him
I turn left into battle
I run right into despair
I try to feed my body
But I know The Bread of Life is near
Thirsty, where is The Living Water?
I am searching everywhere
Parched from long spiritual journeys
Seeking truth behind the religious affair
I know this is your Word Lord
But the teachers seem unprepared
I seek to understand your love
the one thing that I am to share
Your promises oh so simple
Your hand is everywhere
Waiting for our hearts to turn
So you can interfere
I seek You the Great Almighty
The Light that illuminates Truth
In a world full of lies
I will rest in the shadowy place
Knowing you are who you are
Unable to lie you are perfect
Seeking righteousness
And showing The Way
So I surrender to your protection
I’m putting down these weapons of wood and metal
And I am picking up The Sword
I will lean on The Word
My promises
And will feast at your table
Before those who spy
The ones who seek to harm me
Are nothing in my new Sight
The words they use to frighten
Can’t be heard from ears unbound
What plagued me before I died to myself
Can not touch me in this Life
And As for the thoughts that aim to distract
I’m renewed with the mind of Christ!
