Increase

I fall, I fall, I fall to my knees. For this, my Lord, I plea. In this hour alone, I shall surely stand stoned, For fear will face me, meet me where I flee. Still, I run away. This cup I pass to pray. As a river's end meets sea, so my eyes, they flood into Thee. In many ways, I feel I've dug my own grave, grave, grave; my own. . . A friend - what does it mean? Obedience - what does it bring? Knowledge comes easy; easily obtained. Wisdom the greater, but only through pain. This I ask for: to surround to near the backbone to growth, And therefore to clear convictions that draw me closer to lead me. Decisions to follow thoughts that bring healing, Truth to perfection, and my spirit discerning; But in all that I've learned, I am still learning That the plague of my life, I must fight to survive These self-same truths revealed to me, to be the absolute. Change starts in thought, as it can only be taught With a deep concern. The heart, through mind, through time, learn. Wearily, I divide, I divide. You're called to disunite. Afraid that they may scatter, but rather they gather.
