A New Song
_________________________________________________________________
For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth
To give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him.
2 Chronicles 16:9
And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall
And stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it
But I found none.
Ezekiel 22:30

The Breach (a work-in-progress)
Lord we ask for Your blessing and goodness
And we pray, let your face shine upon us
Our lips pour out praise
While our hearts and minds wander away
The world’s idols and troubles have drawn us
Shallow roots hit the rocks in our soil
Weeds choke our devotion, and with it the notion
That maybe we’re here to do more
If we are the stones let Your love be our mortar
That together these temple walls never fall down
When our eyes are on treasure
And our hearts after pleasure,
Make us wise for what lesser things teach
For Your eyes are wide open
And your heart’s for the ones
Who are willing to stand in the breach
