Long to linger

Oh, how I long to linger
In the presence of his grace
Oh, how I love to linger
Just to see His face
When I looked into his eyes
I saw a spark so true
The homeless man
who could not stand,
I knew just what to do.
Darkness all around us,
Humans with no care.
My heart screamed out to know him,
This man in great despair.
I took his hand and held it,
I looked straight in his eyes.
Let me give you food to eat,
And know you by your name.
I don’t have much to give you,
But my time I can spare.
My heart screamed out to know him.
This man in great despair.
To the child that was beaten,
To the ones who feel afraid.
To those who feel hopeless,
Thinking about the grave.
I say to you there is One,
Who can mend All your tears,
There is a man who loves you,
Who can take away your fears.
His name is mighty Jesus.
He’s the Son of God, it’s true.
He came to redeem us
So that we live again.
He finds us when we’re weary.
He holds when we’re blue.
He extends a hand to help us.
When we’re broken and confused.
His Spirit is within us
It falls fresh like dew.
Gentle rain can contain the life we once knew.
Before our hearts were broken
Before our flesh did sin
Before shame and doubt
Ever entered in.
There was a God who made us
Perfect in our soul;
There was a God who loved us
More than we could know;
There was a God who chose us
For communion with Him;
There was a God who knew us
When we were with no sin.
This God I am sharing
is Father, Son and Spirit,
This God I am sharing
Is holier than thou,
This God I am sharing
Is triangular and true,
This God I am sharing
Gave creation to you.
He’s always waiting
For you to call His name
He’s gently showing
The rights you can claim.
He patiently endures
The rebellion in your soul
He longs to tell you
Just what to do
But like infant to man
Maturity is due.
When you’ve reached your max
And done all that you can
When your knees are weak
And can no longer stand
When your sight goes blind
To the facts of this world
When your ears can’t hear
The lies the enemy has hurled
When you stop believing
in your own righteousness
That’s when God will show up
In your midst.
Gentle rain will fall
And His Kingdom will come
When your faith has grown
And believe that He has won.
When your trust becomes
a tree with deep roots
Your branches will grow
And there will be off shoots
So When you feel alone
Just call out to Him;
Pray for healing
And repentance of your sin.
Ask for forgiveness
For your very soul;
Love one another
And Remember your goal,
Seek fruit of His Spirit
It’s all you’ll ever need
Peace and deliverance
It’s how you will succeed.
Know your position,
Heart on the ground.
Seek His glory
And you will be found.
Oh how I long to linger,
In the presence of his grace.
Oh how I long to linger,
Just to see His face.

Break ups are never easy. I am not only referring to marriage or relationships. I remember losing a job before thru contractualization and believe me it hurt more than losing someone you had a huge crush with. I know it sounds different but believe me the feeling is the same.You feel betrayed and unappreciated. You thought you have given your everything and here you are left with nothing. Your next endeavour is the only one suffering the most because you have nothing left, no more trust to offer.
