Intrigue Again

Youngsters, unaware, pray they’re unaware

Intrigue compels them, sucking them in with tricks and shows

Gaps of years, jump forward in time

With the tick of a clock, another time

Intrigue again, puberty is near

Heightened awareness, fallen fight or fixed faith?

An infinite Wisdom, drawn once again

Mixed up signals clouds the perfect, though He draws me near

Teenage revelry, passive rebellion concealed, keeps the fight within

Torn and broken family, is He really near?

Friendship and His comfort, something new is near

Wedding bells, I’ll try it, faith full grown, I know He’s hear

Love despite all hardship, blessed for years

Work for Him? There’s a fight

Trust Him fully and completely? It’s another planet, I’m never there

So, He moved me quite slowly, just a bit by bit

Fulltime family, two children here, part-time ministry frightful love

Interrupted by a burden, I can’t bear it; He helps me fight my fear

Deceived by complications, put down the ministry, I’m sinking here

Clouded foggy decade passes, wasted years

Pain fights daily inside me, but Christ draws me near

His word works inside me, bring me to tears

The lamb put on His shoulders, He holds me near

His word washes right through me, cut sin inside me, I know He’s near

When battles rage within, I can hardly hear

But with Christ fighting for me, nothing can keep me from Him, I’ll be there

The sufferings we have now are nothing compared to the great glory that will be shown to us. Everything God made is waiting with excitement for God to show his children's glory completely.

Romans 8:18-19 NCV

Can anything separate us from the love Christ has for us? Can troubles or problems or sufferings or hunger or nakedness or danger or violent death?

Romans 8:35 NCV
