Heartcry

Words fail…

In deep pain or deep delight

Dreams pale

In the presence of celestial light

Trials come

But a way you will provide

Fear numbs

So beneath your wings we hide


Neither life not death can separate us

Nakedness or strife

Though the world may persecute and hate us

You have the Words of Life

So let this be my impassioned plea

More of Christ- and Less of me

May this heartcry never cease

May you increase and I decrease


Souls groan

But the Spirit intercedes

Minds moan

But you come and meet my very need

Bones quake

Before the throne I bow and kneel 

Hearts break

But battered, broken hearts you heal


Neither life not death can separate us

Nakedness or strife

Though the world may persecute and hate us

You have the Words of Life

So let this be my impassioned plea

More of Christ- and Less of me

May this heartcry never cease

May you increase and I decrease
