We now see the bigger picture
Father saw when He summoned
us to the wilderness
Looking back, we so needed His intervention
If He had not intervened
We would still be stuck
in the past, with old mindsets
Clinging to religion
His love was deeply hidden
in our pain, our shortcomings
And our mistakes
When we took off our masks
Our shackles fell to the ground
The more Father uncovered
our hearts, the more we died
Every day we were tested to see who was really our God
Interrupting the lives of
those He loves with a crisis,
a challenge
Was for His bride to find herself
When we thought we were at
the end of ourselves
He comes on the scene
Guiding, leading and comforting
us with His persistent love
Into our healing, restoration
till we discovered our worth
A small remnant knew
this was the turning point
A once in a lifetime
adventure awaiting them
We could not say “no”
Scared, desperate, hurt,
We took a leap of faith
To heal, to grow, to be who Papa called us to be
We chose to go on this journey
of love with our Father
He became our deepest need
We can be without everything
except Him
We were introduced to a
love that made us bold
and fearless
We found ourselves, when we
found Him
Focus thieves no longer
hold our gaze
There was purpose in
every hurt
In every heartbreak
In every rejection
In every loss
Our eyes are focused on
our Father
Everything that once held
our gaze, disappeared
in the background
We brought every sacrifice
He asked of us
Paid a high price to be One
with our Father
The bride has made herself ready
Leaning upon her Beloved
She is coming out of the wilderness
Ready to take up her position in
the promised land
She now sees what He saw all along!
