Encounters with Your love
has brought me to this place
Where I am bare
Stripped of my old self
Turned upside down
I ran into Your love for me
I ran into Your heart for me
I am forever wrecked
I will never be the same
I cannot go back to a life without You
You turned my life around
A new beginning awaits me
Religion was my safe place
for far too long
I knew about You,
but I had never known You
I had to see You with my own eyes
Experience Your presence for myself
I could not go on hearsay anymore
Keep myself busy with trivial things any longer
I had to go on this journey of love with You
I was created to experience
Your divine love for myself
Created to seek You at any cost
I couldn’t stay the same person
After I ran heart first into You
Your love for me
My ego had to go
Pride had to run
Dying in many areas
was part of my daily process
I missed the point of displaying You
to a dying world
Sent wrong signals out
Judged other’s
Hurt Your creation,
whom You love so deep
All in the name of religion
Help me to represent You
in every aspect of my life
Seek Your face at every account
Know Your heart in every matter
I want to be so hidden in You
that I am not seen, but only You
Take away my pride and arrogance
Till all people can see is
Your glory covering me
I want to love like You do
Forgive like You do
Show mercy and grace like You
I want others to experience
Your heart beating through me
It is all about You
You are the Potter
I am the clay
Break me and mold me
Till I represent You
Though we hurt and reject You
Your love for us is fearless
Your heart for us relentless
Our whole being is consumed
by Your love for us
We cannot be the same after
we have encountered Your love
You never give up on us
Follow us through
the darkest of nights
Look for us when we run away
Point us to the cross
and You take our shame away
Dispels all our fears
Till we are forever hidden in You
