my shantytowns
Posted May 13th, 2009 by misterlibI’ll make justice the measuring stick and righteousness the plumb line for the building. A hailstorm will knock down the shantytown of lies, and a flash flood will wash out the rubble.
point me toward the chances i have today, the opportunities, the divine appointments for justice and righteousness. help me to see the lies that have created shantytowns in my life. i want to tear them down myself. i give them up. i don’t want to wait for the hailstorm. for the flash flood. i want to tear them down and get rid of the rubble. don’t let me settle for less than what is just. for less than what is right. convict me. direct me. have YOUR way in me.
so i’ll stand
with arms high and heart abandoned
in awe of the ONE who gave it all
so i’ll stand
my soul LORD to YOU surrendered
all i am is YOURS
