Lost
we are in the canyon narrows, seeking the flight of the cliff-dwelling sparrows.
Eyes darting while watching
for the falling rocks, shadow-seeking to find that all-day sun block,
Heat blisters against the
scaling shale walls, we wander aimlessly in these narrow canyon halls.
Likewise we stretch and
stretch and stretch our narrow minds,
Trapped within our selfish
daily grind.
Narrow canyons of narrow
minds everyday of each of our days,
Undirected we go into the
undiscoverable and impossibility of our mental maze.
Lost in canyon narrows of
narrow minds, we wander in mental mazes in our daily selfish grind.
What a path we have found!
What a purpose to which we are bound!
We’re trapped and can’t
see that the end is near! We’re trapped in our very own canyon of fear.
Fallen I came upon this
place, fallen I’ve landed flat on my face.
But while I climbed I found
an easier route, only to end in this narrow shadow of doubt.
Death hovers in a Vulture
way, snakes huddle waiting to strike from their cave,
The Jackal follows to feast
on my bones, and the ant scavenges what’s left to its home.
I’m trapped in this narrow
canyon of fear, and my enemies push me to the end with a cheer.
O God where am I going and
what do I do?
My days are numbered and
there are but left a few.
I’m lost in canyon narrows
of my narrow mind,
And there is nothing left
but to grind and grind and grind.
Canyon narrows in a narrow
mind,
Where is the peace I hoped
to find?
Where is the understanding
that was to be so clear?
Yet all I’ve done is fall
into this canyon of fear.
O God! O God! O God!
My fear is all around me.
Can you rescue me?
Will you rescue me? O God do
you hear me?
Lift us O Lord from our
canyon narrows of our narrow minds.
Take us out of our canyon of
fear where we land at times.
You are our only hope O Lord
from this scorching death,
Revive us and breathe into
us your life-giving breath.
Bring us out Dear God from
our canyon of fear,
And draw us near to you, so
very, very near.
Banish us from canyons of
fear and take our hopeless case.
You are our only hope, I
pray O Lord, You are our safe place.
Lift us out of this canyon
of fear and draw us near O Lord to You.
In You O Lord I will dwell,
in You I am made new.
With you all fear is cast
out, by you there is no shadow of doubt.
I am lifted up by your hand,
up and onto a new land.
Praise you Lord, you lift us
from our canyons of fear
And draw us so near to you,
so near.
There’s no end to you and
your love. In you we are made new.
All things pass away, but
you and all things in you are made new.
Praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord.
