You Rob Me

I had a glimmer of light cast from my eyes from power of God now you show me your Lies.
I was dancing around singing my songs. Now you hold down my feet and clamp down my mouth.
I was walking straight now I falter a bit forgetting the direction was North or south?
Turn me around...Cause you robbed me. I been robbed and my robe thrown into the sea.
Turn me around..Lord for I've been robbed of your love and of your mercy.

Why should I turn away from the God that always loved me?
Why should I walk away from a God who was always there?
To partake in a world of obsession and be left alone, broken and bare?

Why should I drown in the waters of muck and dizzy myself on destruction
When you have a purpose, a plan and a direction for me.
Why should I give up when you never give up on me?

Just when I think I have it I have not.
and Just when I think I found it all
I forgot. What you have done for me.

It is my pride. That is keeping me. That is holding me
and scolding me. That is trampling me and suffocating me.
Why oh world do you Rob me of my God?!

You Rob me of his love
You Rob me of his Grace
You Rob me of his power.
Because I keep my view on you. I cannot focus on his face.
Why do you ROB ME?!

Insistent I know that you are here.
Even though the world might try to convince me that you are not.
I know you hear my voice
even though the church may say not.

I cannot be convinced there is a better way than yours oh Lord.
The Lord of this world is not kind, not merciful and not loving.
Why did I ever take my eyes off of you? yet you never took your eyes of me.

Desire, disease and destruction is where this world leads me.
Protection, Love affection, grace and Mercy is what you have for me.
So Plain and So Simple Yet I have been lied too and you never Lord Robed me.

You never took away my Joy.
You never took away my Love
You never took away your Grace.
you never Robed me.

This world is deceitful, is hateful,
forgetful and full of greed.
I'd rather leave it cold in hell then
miss a single day being freed by your will inside me.
OHH Lord you never Rob me!

A Physical and Spirital Move

So one of the great moves have occurred in my life. Both in the Physical and in the spiritual. I am moving forward in a direction I am not quite sure about. I think for the first time in some time I feel as though I do not know the direction God has me going. There is usually a confidence in his path and direction and I can say right now. I am not real sure I have made the right decision. Some say I have but something inside of me is telling me the contrary.

I usually don't go on feelings and such conviction is the only wise decision but its really hard to ignore that feeling that says "no". Even when man is telling you yes. I know I made the steps recently I have made in faith but...I know that God has alot for me but I am being attacked like I have never been attacked before. I am being tempted like never before. I am being spoken to like never before. Like i my move I moved some perpetual stone that blocked me from hearing and seeing things and now I am beginning to see them more clear and the implication of that clarity is frightening.

There is a wonderful book called "The Dream Giver". If you even have a chance I recommend buying it. Reading it yourself and then reading it to your children as a bedtime story. You will not regret it. Bruce Wilkerson the writer surpassed the accolades of "Who Moved My Cheese?" and "Hinds Feet in High Places" like no other. In fact you could say it is the most UNIVERSAL story that shares spiritual change, growth and independence on God like no other.

There is something very real about this story and very Surreal because of how it is told that makes it both fascinating, captivating and life changing. Its the book you wish you would have wrote.

Interesting enough it seems as though alot has changed more inside me of me than in the things around me. I feel as if something is changing inside. Some things and I like and others well I do not like. I am praying that I remain the person whom God made me to be.

I am even finding things like my writing are changing. Its like another wave of move and change has made another impression on the personality of James once again.
