Yes and Amen

Thu, 03/15/2018 - 17:23 -- cjb97

Confusion is wracking my brain

Am I going insane? 

Or is this the way things are

I can find no hope in here 

All I feel is fear 

That any moment this world is going to...

Collapse around me as I look on 

Unable to run or hide 

But in You, every promise has been fulfilled with "Yes!"

A Yes that echoes through ages 

Now it's echoing through my mind 

At last, now I can find 

Peace 

A thousand uncertainties are biting my heels 

As I fall on my knees my thoughts start to reel

In countless directions seeking to find 

A way out of this prison that I have contrived 

But in You, every Promise is Yes

There is no second-guessing or looking back 

There is no hesitancy or shifting sands 

Only You, holding my hand

But who are You? 

When it seems promises are unfulfilled 

As turmoil keeps me from standing still

In Your presence 

Are you stilling holding us in Your hands? 

 

Provider, Healer, Banner, Savior, Redeemer, Friend, Life-Giver,

Sustainer, Heart-Changer, Immanuel 

In You, Yes has come 

Resounding loudly like a trumpet blast on the highest hill

It drowns the doubts I've fed that You have aimed to kill 

Now faith is restored 

Now I say Yes to Your promises and Yes to who You are 

I rejoice in Your Yes

And echo it with my life 

Lifting my Amen as an offering in response to what You have done

And to what You have promised

My answer can only be...

Yes!
