Fresh Wind - Fresh Fire

Fresh Wind – Fresh Fire:

The Quest for Vision

“Cease striving and know that I am God.”

we are the beneficiary of a new thing

there is something pregnant within us

conceived by the Holy Spirit

we have known the pangs of a striving labor

trying to help it come

the contractions have left us exhausted

no natural position is comfortable anymore

we’ve got IVs filled with the opiates of this age

seeking to numb the pain

we’ve miscarried so many times

and more often than we’d like to admit

given birth prematurely

so now we wait in an ordained season of unknowing

“though the vision tarries, it will come”

oh, God, open the eyes of our hearts

let us see with your eyes

uncork the well, bring forth the child

raise it to its full stature

seeking Your face & not Your hand

release fresh vision and revelation … or we die

“Bless the LORD, oh my soul,

and forget not His benefits.”

“Though the vision tarries, it will come.”
