Lord, in the wilderness of my soul,
there are valleys deep and low . . .
and sometimes I wander in them
not sure the direction I should go.
In my doubt I meet with despair,
and my thoughts turn to giving up
for in my desperation . . .
I don’t see Your grace in my cup.
Lord, in the wilderness of my soul,
there are mountains high and wide
and sometimes all I want to do
is just to run away and hide.
In my fear I meet with dread,
with each obstacle I come to
but, I know I must get past them
if I want to get closer to You.
Lord, there’s a wilderness in my soul,
a vast land of empty spaces
long roads for me to travel on
with plenty of rough places.
But, I know I’m on the path,
leading me straight to You . . . .
and with Your strength and help
I know I’ll make it through!
~~~~~
“The voice of one crying
in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight.”

Hearing cries in the dark wilderness of each soul, God pursues us until we are finally kneeling at Calvary’s cross.

So very kind of you Deborah. It is a verse by verse teaching church. It is called Calvary Chapel of Cary. The link is CCCARY.org. There is thirty minutes of singing so if you want to get straight to the sermon, Pastor Rodney Finch is our primary pastor who started the church. The one last Sunday was particularly good and I learned so much I never knew, even after I had read about the last 24 hours of the life of Christ. I honestly think you would be blessed by visiting. Love you Deborah. 🤗❤️🙏🙏🙏
