It has been a while....

It's been a while since I have seen me
since I have heard my voice
It's been a while since I have listened intently
to what my heart sings
to what my soul longs for
It's been a while since I have pictured myself in freedom
away from the chains of heart ache and longing

But I am starting to slowly stand tall again!

Strong face to the sun
my back against the wind
my arms stretched out
ready to hold onto all that God has for me
ready to speak faith to my circumstances
ready to fly high above the clouds of my adversaries

Fear is always an option
But it is not my choice
I chose this day who I will serve....
and it is the LORD, not the fear of the enemy!

Captivate me Oh God
Capture me in your praises
Dance all around me
Give me Faith, Hope, and Love

When I focus on you the time falls away
everything else melts
and it is only me and you left there to
face this world

So I open up my heart and I stretch out my arms
I wait on you to lift me up on eagles wings...
because only you Lord, will RENEW my strength!
