Climbing the Heights

Monday, January 20, 2014

Upon this precipice lies

Upon this precipice lies
The wait and anxiest
I ere despise

Though canst close mine eyes
To the thought that here
Yet lies the hope

I so have longed
To take the leap
And let my fears

Awake in courage
As I trust the only hope
I have on earth or heav'n

Thy canopy of faith
Thy ways sure
So doubt in me

Dissolve in me
All that should hold
And make my ways bold

That in the breaking of my will
For all life's greatest thrill
Is found here

Upon the great barrier
Where no more
Dillusion has its day

For upon the gravity
And its pull
Thy design

Doth play it's role
And so bring me
To my knees

As once more
In surrender
I remember

Thy faithful
Hand doth hold
And makes me

What I cannot
In my own strength
Become

Till death become me
And life flow through me
When thou doth enter in

-Joshua Lee Foist
