The Great I Am

August 25, 2015

I am redeemed

I was just wasting time, counting the days till I would die

I lived for me, and a few loved ones

I lost a lot along the way and tried to claw my way to what I thought was safety

I was deceived

I made reckless choices that wrecked my voice as I hid it from the world

I let my enemies step all over me

I let them tell me I was a failure

But now I have found the only thing that will satisfy my hungry soul

My hunger for the world no longer takes its toll

After all the searching I finally know what I was missing

The only thing that could fill the void in my soul that was gaping and growing

I have peace and I have a Father

I am a new creation in Christ
