Long Road Traveled: I Will Arise

Long Road Traveled

Soo, I definitely did not start this blog to post up a stockpile of poems, but to be honest, I don't really know what else to post. I have no idea what it truly means to "blog". For you, that may mean revealing the events of your day, or the deepest darkest, sometimes intimate struggles/secrets of your life. As For me?...well this is how i express my feelings, my thoughts, my desires, and most of the time, my frustrations..This is life for me. So... As you ruffle through the poetic prose, sloppy illustrations and sometimes unclear analogies I post, I hope you walk away Inspired, intrigued, and well.... spurred on to dig deeper in your daily walk.

I Will Arise

This is the song i sang this past weekend at crosspoint! Posting this for those interested in playing or sharing it!

The verse is Am Em G D

Chorus - G D Em C

Verse 1

Lord i know this road i travel on is narrow and rocky

I am torn apart because of sin, Im broken and needy

But even when my life is crashing downa and i am scarred; no one is around

I reach for you and You are always there

When my life is dry and filled with pain you fill my cup when you bring down the rain

Until i overflow with your love

Chorus

I will arise

And take on the day

And I will lift my hands and say that your the only way

I will arise, forgetting yesterday

For all my sin and all my shame have been washed away

By you....

Verse 2

Lord your grace is sufficient enough to cover every wrong mistake

Lord your face is all i long to see; so take me to that secret place

I'm tired of lies and insecurities

My anger, guilt, my pain, my jealousy

I want to be who you want me to be

Though in my circumstances i can't see

your outstretched hand reaching out to me

I'll walk by faith; I choose to believe
