God is life.

darker days come blowing by and by,
the heart wanders from its Lord on high,
each sin a scarlet letter branded on her chest,
each trial keeping her away from rest.

and while bones shiver with frailty and meekness,
through grace, they finds solace in God, a strength through weakness.
He gives hope to the righteous that brings joy,
and a fierce truth that shadows cannot destroy.

where blood ran cold and embers quivered,
my Lord and His Word revived and delivered.
where once i was dead and could not live,
i was pierced by that which was living and active.

it's always difficult when you are revealed to how you fall short, but by God's sweet mercies, He makes Himself greater. what a good God i worship!
