The pillar of fire's leading me
towards the promised land,
more each day, I easily see
Your guiding, gentle hand
orchestrating my life
like an unfolding melody,
the beauty of the new song you give
finally sung openly.
Wandering in the circles
I've travelled, away from You,
searching for the narrow path,
& yet blinded by the veiw,
I hid beneath the cloud, alone,
surrounded by Your glory,
the surrounding crowd not truly one,
all writing their own story.
But all along, You bid me,"Come,
& I will shepherd you,
I'll lead you into the sheepfold,
your home's in Me, & you knew
the moment you fully surrender,
I'll set you free from everything
keeping you in this wilderness,
separated, & wandering."
~& Suddenly, He restores my sight,
& places me where I belong
in His body, where's He's free to be the head,
& only in Him, are we made strong,
no more relying on our own understanding,
no more turning to others, rather than Him,
freed forever from all lingering bondages,
aware so fully now of His presence within.
