come closer

beautiful pain

fuels this deepening passion

for more Jesus,

more

yeah I ache

but I can move far beyond me, myself and all that is going on with me

because just outside

America is crying

babies are dying

hatred is flying

and evil is stealing from all these children of God not yet revealed

I hear the sound

so I will move beyone my own estate

forgetting that which is behind

and pressing on to that which is ahead

because outside

sisters may be getting high for the last time

brothers lost in internet pornography space

and children wondering where in the world daddy is

and wisdom shakes my mind, saying:

For if you remain completely silent at this time,

relief and deliverance will arise for those caught in lies from another place. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

paraphrased Ester 4:14

this is the time

this is the place

He chose you

move beyond

respond.
