In Hiding

Wallowing in mud 
Trying to find a way out 
Yet falling down with a thud
Self-pity, pride and doubt 
All crowd out the knowledge of His love 

There’s no hope they say
You’ll never bee good enough 
Darkness lurks all about your day
It feels as though life’s never been this rough

You go through your routines 
Building up a ten foot wall
It’s all just the means 
To hide everyone from seeing you fall 

What do they think of you
Are you good enough for everyone? 
There’s nothing you could ever do
To make all your failures undone 

We are all hiding behind walls of stone 
Trying to cover the messes we’ve made 
Yet deep within, we groan 
Only looking to Christ will we fade

For we are nothing without Him
Even our good deeds are useless 
We are only like a limb 
Nothing without His righteousness 

Dead unless connected to the tree
Thus we must get out of the way 
So all can see 
His life and power in us this day

Our pride separates us from His life
Immediately we begin to wither  
As though a razor sharp knife 
Cut through and thither 
Until separated from the trunk 
We then begin to rot and stink 

Rid yourself from all selfishness 
Self esteem, self pity, pride and confidence 
Be filled instead with Christ and His righteousness 
Although the fog and clouds still seem dense 
Beyond it all, still shines the sun 
In all it’s brightness and glory 
There’s no need to doubt nor be glum
Everything He writes in His story 
Is all part of a perfect plan

Even when we miss the mark 
It’s only His hand
Hidden, working in our heart
That which will glorify His Name 

So let go of the pen you’re grasping 
Give up all that’s given shame 
Your fingers numb from clasping 
Your hearts heavy from all the pain
It’s only when you’re weakest 
Not worrying about what others think
For then His power shows up greatest 
Soon this world will be over in a blink 
And only His opinion matters
His Kingdom, His righteousness, His Name 
Never heed the lips of one who flatters 
For the next minute all he’ll do is blame

Be rooted deep within the Fathers love
Nothing else compares to Him 
He’s quietly planning for you above 
As all the earthly applause grows dim

He gives you more His Spirit and Nature Divine 
Nothing here compares to this 
Renew your way of thinking in your mind
He’ll reveal to you such bliss

His love is surpassing 
All height and depth, width and length 
Going beyond all understanding
That you may be filled with 
All of Him, in every single part
As He seeks to abide 
With you in the secret heart
What joy beyond all compare inside
While outside the storm will blow
Nevertheless joy overflows while doing His will
There alone as you get to know
His ways, and better still
His heart, His love, 
where no one else ever will see
Its between you and Him
He shines forth all His glory 
Through your, broken, empty life
