It seems like it has been forever since I've written. In that time I have been wrestling with my depravity and embracing the amazing grace of Jesus. Last night I was listening to Caedmons Call cd "Back Home" and as always when listening to Caedmons, I had a true sense of my weakness and Christ's strength. The song "thousand miles" really hit home to where I was and how I was feeling. Here it is for your enjoyment and encouragement:
I have stolen Lord, let me give
I have left Your house a fugitive
I have wandered my own way
Squandered everything You gave
But my dying heart You saved and let me live
I have cursed the air and clenched my fists
I have hungered for Your righteousness
I have tried to walk the line
I drew between Your heart and mine
But You forgive me every time the mark is missed
So take my broken offering and make it whole
And set my feet upon the road that leads me home
Let me walk as one fixed upon the goal
Even though I've got a thousand miles to go.
I have sought Your grace in my defense
I have plundered Your magnificence
Until my journey is complete
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
That I might sow what I have reaped
From Your great love
As I struggle for Your hand
You use me in ways I cannot understand
You take this sinful man and renew me
Working through me
So take this broken offering and make it whole
And set my feet upon the road that leads me home
Let me walk as one fixed upon the goal
Even though I have a thousand miles to go.
