Random Writings and poems from Joshy

When I see Him

 

When I see Him as He is  

He will be my greatest desire

 

When I saw the sky

I wanted to fly

When I saw the Mountain

I wanted to climb

When I saw the Ocean

I wanted to dive

When I saw the fountain

My mouth became dry

 

When I see Him as He is

I will be changed

 

When I saw the sky

I envied the birds in flight

When I saw the Mountain

I girded my feet to climb

When I saw the Ocean

I learned to swim

When I saw the fountain

I knelt to drink

 

When I see Him as He is

I will never be the same

 

When I saw the sky

I hated the ceiling

When I saw the Mountain

I laughed at the hills

When I saw the Ocean

The lakes were crossable

When I saw the fountain

My cup was ever unsatisfying

 

 

 

Dark

Empty are the words you speak to me

Like rattling railroad cars are rusting

Graffiti sprayed along their bevels

Running rails for the sake of trusting

 

Higher are your thoughts I hear

Is that supposed to be enough?

I came to find the warmth of Father

And was given weaker stuff

 

All around the blood crust roles

Sick from head to toe uNweLl

Blind fools line up to be fed

From the mist that darkness fell

 

Show me Glory

Show me Light

Show me Beauty

Show me Might

 

I long for truth that burns all things undone

I burn for things undone in longing

Where are the lines on straight and narrow

Fertile ground that once lay fallow?

 

Open Truth to this dead heart

Not weak religion or comfort failing

Shock my soul with reality divine

And kill forever all righteousness mine

 

To know the heart reality

To gush with flowing rivers promised once

To live the Christ walk unfolding

A life sold off for more valuable things.

 

 

I Will Take You In

 

Sovereignty unveiled to me

Beauty astounding finally surrounding

Tear stained awe welling up within

As I am overwhelmed with you

Overwhelmed with you

Adoration pouring over

There is nothing else like this

Breathe the incense of your presence

I will take you in

Purity opened to me

Your Holiness is glorious beyond compare

Sin stained heart made white again by love

As I am overwhelmed with you

Overwhelmed with all of you

There is nothing like the joy of your fragrance

I will take you in

To touch the heart of Father and be made whole again

I will take you in

I will breathe again

 

 

Raw

Wildly passionate unto all of your extremes 

Your beauty penetrates me regenerates me

I am filled with mountains moving overwhelmed with demons shaking

At the goodness of you

 

Release me

Open me

Reveal me to myself

Forget me

Dissolve me

The light of you

Burning through

Darkness dies a screaming death

And Satan’s kingdom meets its end

 

I long to divorce my reservations

To believe everything you say and not doubt

I long to awaken to faith’s fountain

The trust of a child returning to me

 

But how can I believe when I have never seen

And how can I say that when you’re all around me

How can I see you when my eyes are blind to truth

How can I stay here when I’m slipping away from you

 

I believe help my unbelief help my unbelief my unbelief

I believe help my unbelief help my unbelief unbelief

 

Unbelief

Is all that’s real to me.

It’s all that’s real to me.

It’s not all real to me.

 

Unbelief

Is all that’s holding me

It’s all that’s raping me

It’s weighing down on me

Oh my Jesus Set me free
