Even While Standing in the Hardest Place - Spoken Word

Romans 8:17-19 - "And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.  For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.  For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God." (KJV)

Even While Standing in the Hardest Place

Are you standing in a hard place

Longing to see the face of God?

Are you standing in a hard place

Desperately wanting to erase

the pain and the scars of your heart?

Are you standing in a hard place

One that you can’t even trace,

Cause God’s presence seems so far?

You don’t even know where you are,

And everything just seems marred.

The more you dig beneath the surface

Searching for His purpose

Is the more you realize,

“This must be my demise

Cause this hard place just doesn’t seem to fit my size.”

Here’s a word to the wise…

I too am standing in a hard place

Longing to see the face of God

I too am standing in a hard place

Desperately wanting to erase

The pain and the scars of my heart.

I too am standing in a hard place

That I can’t even trace,

Cause God’s presence seems so far,

I don’t even know where I are,

And everything just seems marred.

The more I dig beneath the surface

Searching for His purpose

Is the more I realize

“This must be my demise,

Cause this hard place just doesn’t seem to fit my size.”

So, I too am searching for a Word to make me wise…

And I’m beseeching God to give me His eyes

So that I can SEE

As He SEES…

Adonai, I’m not here asking you why,

But I’m asking You to give me the eyes

Of Abba’s Heart

Even as my heart is breaking apart

So that I can SEE all things

As they really be

Give me the eyes of the mind of Christ

So that I too can willing pay the price

Of laying down my life as a living sacrifice

Give me the eyes of the Spirit

So that when I’m standing in the hardest place

I don’t even fear it

And when You speak, I can distinctly hear it.

Adonai, I pray that this hard place

Truly BE my demise

So that I can finally rise

With resurrection power

Fulfilling Your purpose for this hour

For I know, when I look upon my Savior’s face

All my sorrow will erase

In the light of His grace

Even while standing in the hardest place.
