Running Blind

About 4 or 5 years ago, I kept hearing the words over and over again "Running Blind" when I thought of how we as humans seem to face life. We tend to run aimlessly with no clear direction, without looking for the Light and Truth that is right before us. We run towards nothing and expect something out of it.

Running blind
heading for nowhere.
You're running blind
and you don't seem to care.

What lies ahead in the darkness?
Is there a light
just down the road?

Running blind
heading for the unknown.
Running blind
heading down the wrong road.

Can you see beyond the darkness?
Can you see
if there's a light?
Can you see
the Truth ahead?

Something's got to give.
Something's got to take.
You must break free
of running blind.

The Truth is right there before you.
Stop running blind
and open your eyes.

The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. - John 14:17

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth, and the life. No one come to the Father except through me." - John 14:6

Through the Eyes of a Child

I wrote this when I was praying about working with the kids again at my church. I heard it as a song running through my head. I've heard it all my life that we are all of God's children and must come to Him as such. So, how do children see their Heavenly Father? Or rather how should they? Well, here's what I wrote down how I personally would like to see Him.

Through the eyes of a child
I long for You.
Through the eyes of a child
I sit at Your feet -
Listening and learning
Of Your Way.

Melt away myself.
Wash me white as snow.
Take away myself,
Because, Lord, I want to know
You, through the eyes of a child.

Innocent eyes
Absorbing Your Truth,
Soaking in Your love.
Touch my heart today, Lord.
I long to feel You
Through the eyes of a child.

Through the eyes of a child
I long for You.
Through the eyes of a child
I long for Your embrace.
I sit at Your feet
Listening and learning
Of Your Way and Truth.
Through the eyes of a child
Soaking in Your love.
Through the eyes of a child.
The eyes of a child.
Through the eyes of a child.

Revival!

If we as Christians want a revival, we need to get off of our behinds and do something about it!
