In seeking...

I am searching your presence.
Sometimes Lord you know when I am searching you with all my heart,
I am really searching, really seeking after your presence.
There are times I search you, but not really wanting to find you.
In some way I am looking for a darkness in you,
a place I can hide, even from within you.
I don't want all of myself to be made seen to your eyes,
times I wish I could hide myself.
But this is a lie.
I know it.
And so I grasp all of your Light.
For in your presence nothing is hidden.
Your light reveals, breaks down my walls of pride,
Your light reveals the idols that take place upon the alter of my heart.
Your light invades, I cannot control it, You throw off the idols and take the place of my heart that was yours since I've given my life to you.
In my surrender you're taking all control,
into your hands I commit my spirit...

And I dance! In this Holy Place...
Your dwelling is in me, so I rejoice.
The holds of darkness on my life, they've released me!
I am free...
Stepping into the Light, understanding had poured upon me.
I am free...
Through my temple, I'm cleansed of bitter evil.
I am free...
No more shackles,
I lift my hands to praise,
No more shackles,
I lift my feet to dance,
No more shackles,
I lift my soul as a sacrifice before the Lord Most Holy-
welling up from deep within me
is joyous sound- my song, my speech, cries and laughter,
it goes out to Him who takes my prayers as burnt incense.

My heart has returned to worship,
My life has returned to kneeling before the Throne,
the Lord, my King, is my Strength, my salvation,
and my Light in which I walk.

To Christs' Glory,
