YOUR FAVOR LORD

have i lost my vision
here in the wilderness
am i here because of my short sightedness
am i here
do i trust in You Lord
do i believe Your word
am i living as if i have Your favor
for You salvation is near
for Your salvation is now
is my focus on past failures
is my eye on past successes
can i perceive the new thing You are doing
the very thing You call me to
do i believe i am stuck in the desert
without water
without hope
do You not provide the streams in the wasteland
are You not the Living Waters
can i not perceive them
Your refreshing and Your new things
what is my worry
have i forgotten to call upon You Lord
are You all i need
are You my salvation
why am i so wearied
why am i so tired
where is the life i am to be living
do i not have life in You Lord
in Your salvation
in abiding in You and Your word
why do i act so dead
in the abundance of Your provision
now is the time of Your favor Lord
now is the time of Your salvation

AND YOU STILL CALL ME YOURS

i run
to find healing in anything i can
i run
to find comfort in a habit
i go
to old places that still haunt me
this pain
buried so deep
i have forgotten where it started
i come with unclean hands
used for unrighteousness
and still You call me Yours
and still You love this man
and still You hold me
as You whisper
I know where you go
I know why even when you don't
come to Me My child
find Me in your fear
find Me in your pain
find Me in your anger
I am still here
and you are still Mine
you are still Mine
and I am still God
