The Unknown Figure

When we first met Your light blinded my senses I got too close When your presence obliterated my fences No boundaries with you Your fragrance made me tired As your promise of passion Got my furnace all fired ....up Up, Up, Up to your face Of golden beauty Causing me to forget My marital duty Promises, Promises Just words spoken on a rainy day But this is real, because I can feel All that my flesh wants to say ...downward Wait, where am I What are these silky threads That are so soft My heart presses my mind to dread The sleep has waned to a stupor And my legs are wobbly with lack What brought me to this...place I don't think I can get back ...on track Oh, there is no track I'll just lie down for a while "GET up you sluggard! Your husband knows you're defiled!" My body becomes limp With every try to stand erect The threads grow tighter And burden my elect ...tion, shunned ............what have I DONE! MY LORD...WHAT HAVE I DONE JESUS! PLEASE COME That cry, that Tehillah cry Brought down Daddy God Who knew all along That THIS road I must trod So that the lies of wrong vs right Would never persuade me again Because the long and short of "sin" Is doing anything without HIM The reason HE is in charge Is because HE walked the way out of hell When I chose to yell and expel the enemy I walked out as well, now I am charged to tell ....YELL HIS NAME HIS EARS HEAR His arms are infinitely lengthened His LOVE is all encompassing To find His children and strengthen ....the heart to FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Written by Trudy Schrader on 02-09-2019 Note: A tehillah praise is a yielded heart cry that reaches a LOVING God from a place of complete dependence. I can't count the times, when in the night, I have said, "JESUS!" What I find, every time, is that He is the overseer, pulling out of me, strength, and resilience I was unaware of, and it can only be found IN Him. Oh, and the first time I heard of this type of cry, was listening to Tommy Bates. That message is on YouTube. Check it out.
