Joyous Serenity

Braved a thousand years for you to come back to me
Waved goodbye a million times and it hurts for me to see you go
Made to believe in your lies and it deceived me entirely
Saved from the wickedness of my heart as I’ve been led astray before, you know?

You know you’re beginning to give me an end in mind
Show me the rising dawn in your eyes before I get blind
Don’t walk away from my grasp and forgiveness is a must
Won’t you ever grow up and stop being so insensitive? You surely broke my trust…

Engulf me with Your encouragement and Hope, Lord of liberty
Embolden me with your discernment and mere bravery
Please glimmer like the moonlight beneath the sea of reverie
Fright and fear no longer lingers in my mind of humility
Passion inspires me…let’s me be me
Motivates me to keep on going
Compassion makes me feel oh so free
Delights me as I keep on glowing

Your words are so powerful and invigorating to the soul
You hurt me and shelter me at the same time and it’s interesting as a whole
I’ve been laid to rest while you make a run out the door
You and I don’t love each other anymore, but what for?

You know you’re beginning to give me an end in mind
Show me the rising dawn in your eyes before I get blind
Don’t walk away from my grasp and forgiveness is a must
Won’t you ever grow up and stop being so insensitive? You surely broke my trust…

Engulf me with Your encouragement and Hope, Lord of liberty
Embolden me with your discernment and mere bravery
Please glimmer like the moonlight beneath the sea of reverie
Fright and fear no longer lingers in my mind of humility
Passion inspires me…let’s me be me
Motivates me to keep on going
Compassion makes me feel oh so free
Delights me as I keep on glowing

Might as well be glowing on on my own
Since you can’t save me from my demons in my mind’s eye
We’re so out of sight, yet we’re not alone
Mesmerized by the mindset of joyous serenity from on high
Precious flight, you may take any time now
Someday, at night, we will endure somehow

Amen my brother, keep it up, love it, for we don't even realize we are fighting all the wickedness of the world and what it has instilled in us until we seek Jesus and the holy spirit comes to rid us of it
