Having just finished work at 4.30 am i get some down time where i get to think a lot and relax. i've had few chances to do this recently and i realise how much i miss it, the quiet refection that these times bring, i love it. I often think about work and how the world and its offspring seem to gravitate to the late night here in lancaster that i happen to work at, i sometimes feel sorry for the people who go out every night of every week, get drunk, go home, sleep. wake up and start again... i have started to realise how blessed i am, blessed that i have a purpose, blessed that i have a hope and a future, blessed that a God who looks on me with eyes of love counts me as righteous, sees me as unblemished.Wow!! sometimes life doesn't make sense, there are highs and lows, there are walls and rivers, i'm constantly aware that what we do here is just the beginning, we are a part of a story thats unfolding, to always love, to stretch further, to push through the wall to swim the river. thats doing what needs to be done in order to dwell.. to come back to a place whereGod is not just King of Glory but is Prince of Peace, My Prince of Peace
Well, sometimes my life Just don't make sense at all When the mountains look so big And my faith just seems so small So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf You have been King of my glory Won't You be my Prince of Peace And I wake up in the night and feel the dark It's so hot inside my soul I swear there must be blisters on my heart Surrender don't come natural to me I'd rather fight You for something I don't really want Than to take what You give that I need And I've beat my head against so many walls Now I'm falling down, I'm falling on my knees And this Salvation Army band Is playing this hymn And Your grace rings out so deep It makes my resistance seem so thin You have been King of my glory Won't You be my Prince of Peace
