Awestruck And Relief (Poem)

 

Awestruck

I can reach out to the very throne of God
Fall on my knees and worship You with awe
I can lift up my voice and worship the King
I can give You my heart, give You everything
I can bow before You in humble adoration
I can sing to sing You with gladness and exaltation
I can give You my life, give You my all
As I glimpse Your glory - upon my knees I fall
I want to praise You, Lord, and lift You higher
Oh my soul is amazed, You are my desire.

Having therefore, brethren, boldness
to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us,
through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
And having an high priest over the house of God;
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,
having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience,
and our bodies washed with pure water.
Hebrews 10:19-21

Relief

A stone has been rolled away from my heart,
Peace floods in and the joy of worship starts,
My soul lifts up to Abba Father,
On faith's silvery wings,
Soaring among the Heavenlies,
My heart feels free to sing,
My sins are cast into the depths of the sea,
My burdens are cast upon You,
The only place that I long to be,
Is bowing humbly before You,
I want to adore You, my loving Father,
But sometimes I am unsure of the way -
How do I send these thoughts up to You?
With heartfelt prayer, and these words I say,
I want to worship You, Lord,
As my soul lifts in praise to You,
I want to glorify You in my life,
Like I know You want me to.

Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He shall sustain thee:
He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Psalm 55:22

He hath not dealt with us after our sins;
nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
For as the heaven is high above the earth,
so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him.
As far as the east is from the west,
so far hath He removed our transgressions from us.
Psalm 103:10-12

Behold, for peace I had great bitterness:
but Thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption:
for Thou hast cast all my sins behind Thy back.
Isaiah 38:17

He will turn again, He will have compassion upon us;
He will subdue our iniquities;
and Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
Micah 7:19
