A Moment of Clarity

Have you had moments, when you just start singing a song without quite knowing why. But as you sing it and the lyrics reveal themselves to you from some long-forgotten recesses of your memory, it starts to minister directly to your soul, and speak to the burdens you are carrying in your heart?
I had a moment like this just this morning on the way to work. Couldn't find the Hillsong CD i wanted as I was driving to school, and in the momentary silence caused as I was fiddling between CDs... this song burst forth from my heart:


All I want is to see Your face
All I need is a moment of grace
It’s in You that I have the faith
To stand up and be strong
‘Cause I know I’m no longer bound
It’s in You that I have found
Peace of mind, freedom from my sin
And the pow’r to love and forgive

Chorus:
I want to walk with You
Everyday of my life
To talk with You
In the good and the strife
You’re my friend
You’re my Father for all time
Nothing can keep us apart
You’re the lover of my heart


Where can I go from Your presence, O Lord?
In disappointment and pain, I flee from you.
Perhaps then, it will be easier to bear.
How do I hold on to your promises in the bible
Yet not see them in my life
When my desires are unmet
And I'm once more confronted with the scars of old.
How long must I wait
Before I can understand Your way?
And once more have confidence in You?

Yet for now
I will choose to stay
At the cross where You shed your blood for me
Though I do not understand
I will keep walking with You
Wait for me, Jesus
Wait for me.
