Souvenirs...
She's got a bumper like a billboard
Covered in stickers of her favorite band
She's got a handful of records that she turns to
When she needs to land
She's a saturday night parade through the streets
That all eyes come to see including me
She carries memories around like souvenirs down in her pockets
She should have let some go by now but can't seem to drop it
Says forgiveness ain't nothing but a lifeless tire on the shoulder of her soul
That never rolls
For as much as she stumbled she's runnin'
For as much as she runs she's still here
Always hoping to find something quicker than heaven
To make the damage of her days disappear
Just like Guinevere
Just like Guinevere
She don't hold onto nothin' new for very long
She don't hold onto nothin' new for very long
Yeah she writes you in as just one more tale
and then you're gone
'Cause she once fell hard 'cause she dropped her guard
And no one gets to stay
It's just too late
It's just too late

My King...
"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed."

Do You Feel Me...?
"Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her....And in that day, you will call me 'My Husband' and no longer will you call me 'My Master'. I will betroth you to me in faithfulness. And you shall know the Lord."
What do you do in those times when you know the right words to say but those words simply do nothing for you? When you know what you should believe and should feel but its still not enough? When you finally see that you really just know about God and struggle to truly know Him? When you thought you were trusting Him only to wake up and realize you have never fully surrendered every aspect of your life? When being shaped and molded means being stretched and hammered? When the truth that being led into the wilderness just might be God's mercy on you seems so far away? What do you do in those moments?
Press in and listen.

Simply Rest...
That I might take heart in His promises and be content in Him alone.
"Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust in Him, and He will act...Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him."

The Pursuit...
4"Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins? 5Now, therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways. 6 You have sown much, and harvested little. You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes.
7"Thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways. 8Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that I may take pleasure in it and that I may be glorified, says the LORD. 9 You looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why? declares the LORD of hosts. Because of my house that lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house." Haggai 1.
Are our current pursuits founded in bringing glory to God or do we need to go up to the hills with an axe?

Love This...
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race,
I have kept the faith."
Will I say the same?
I have kept the faith."
Will I say the same?
