Reaching Climber

Seeking Higher

Savior Granting

Heart's Desire



Target the mark

The High Call of God

Pressing on

The High Call of God



Valley's Shadow

broken vessel

caught in battle

dark opressor



Target the mark

The High Call of God

Pressing on

The High Call of God



Pressure falls upon me

crushing on my chest

Oh, I cannot breathe

locked in a skin-tight metal vest



Icy diamond sky above me

A chilling night all by myself

Unending as the days go by

Guilty and a victim of the lie



In the visceral Melee

I will call out Your Name

Jesus, guide me out of the

conditions of my life



but if this cup won't pass

and I must consume it all

uphold me with Your strength

or I will surely fall



Thoughts like oozing liquid

from reality to dreams they flow

I cannot concentrate

but I cannot let it go



This is poverty in spirit

This is mourning over sin

This is thirsting for Your righteousness

This brokenness I'm in



In the visceral Melee

I will call out Your Name

Jesus, guide me out of the

conditions of my life



but if this cup won't pass

and I must consume it all

uphold me with Your strength

or I will surely fall



Weight of glory

let the terror and the awe

upon our souls

let it fall

Holiness, Holiness

in moments we cease speaking

make us still

let us know that You are God

Holiness, Holiness



Weight of glory

as the chilling dome above

blue steel by day

rich diamond tapestry by night

Holiness--crying silent-- Holiness



Eternal words express the conflict

is there sufficiency in knowing

can we move to embrace?

or wait on the initiative of grace?



As we fix on unsure reflections

as we wait in holy desire

at the end of this life this mission

we await the beatific vision



And is it now, You're passing by?

and with our retrospective gaze

only after will we see it?

Await the day we see Your Face



As we fix on unsure reflections

as we wait in holy desire

at the end of this life this mission

we await the beatific vision



Approaching that which is oh so Holy, oh so Sacred

It was such a great injustice, oh My Lord

that they condemned You to death- Crucified You

Though Innocent You bleed and die



Oh mystery hidden from the ages

Oh Messiah, Jesus crucified

in all our wisdom

we could never arrive

in all our wisdom

we could never arise



Oh mystery, hidden from the ages

Oh Jesus, God incarnate

Crucified

blood poured, our souls to save

buried and on the third day

risen from the grave



In the sands of the desert where water was scarce

You have opened the floodgates of heaven

In a world of deception where lies would take rule

You have spoken and shown us the Truth



And The Spirit of God shall prevail

and His power shall never fail

word of grace to impart/ giving life to the heart

The Spirit of God



Purpose and fulness behind every moment

the sweetness of everywhere being Your hand

Causing to work towards good--in fullfillment



Holding each breath and beside every step

lifting, uplifting, reshaping, my life

torrents and storms but divinely I'm kept



How can I thank You Lord?

I am only spit and dust

Yet You love me, yet You give me

endless life/undying trust

endless life/undying trust



I could cry so hard and long

that I run out of salt for my tears

even this would not express

the gratitude, devotion and passion You're owed
