Redeemed Soldier

All my life, I have searched for you.
But I filled myself up with the world,
Living a lie- instead of accepting the truth.
----
You waited, like the gentlemen you are,
Watching me destroy myself,
Breaking your heart.
---
I ached- I was tortured inside.
You longed to be my Comforting Healer,
But your hands were tied.
---
Finally- the dawn of a new day!
You gave me your Son,
And washed my sins away.
---
Oh my Lamb of Victory,
Let me feel your Majesty.
For You to shine in me.
I want all to see,
Through me,
Your Glory.
---
You Daddy, I will always praise.
Let me sing of Your Love, Mercy,
And Grace.
---
Let me be Your soldier, standing tall.
Dressed in your armor,
I am answering Your call,
---
On my life, anointed by Your Blood,
I shall fight
In the desert and the mud.
---
There is no turning back now- for sure.
The Lamb to who I owe my life,
You are preparing me for war.
---
Oh my Lamb of Victory,
Let me feel Your Majesty.
For Your Light to shine in me.
I want all to see,
Through me,
Your Glory.
---
Now come Holy Spirit, fill my heart.
Lead me by the hand,
Tell me where to start.
---
Speak to me Strongtower, today.
Go before me,
As I battle for You in this place.
---
Prepare the hearts You send my way.
Soften them, Father,
To hear of the Love of Yahweh.
---
Give me Your Heart to intercede for the hurting.
Show me how to pray boldly.
In Your Name, I ask these things.
---
Oh my Lamb of Victory,
Let me feel Your Majesty.
For Your Light to shine in me.
I want all to see,
Through me,
Your Glory.

Camp was intense. Most of you probably do not know I used to write- a lot. About five years back, I went dry. Any time I tried to write creatively, my pen wouldn't move. God blessed me this week. He has filled my heart with so much, I think the floodgates in my mind are going to burst. Of all the things I have ever written, I know this is by far my best work. This is my first work of Praise to the Lord. Please, if you feel moved, share it. I want this piece to speak to people who feel lost, or that God would never use them. It is a lie. He is calling, the question is weather or not we will answer.
