Climbing the Heights

In the shifting shadows

In the shifting shadows
Of this heart and mind
Grant me faith to find
My hope is in you

In the dark that overcomes 
And the drums that beat 
Louder and louder within
So fill me and bring peace

From all that would compete
For your affections 
May these imperfections
See my need

Within the shadows
Surround this silouette 
And shine thy light
May it be

A delight
To the soul
Set free

This canopy of faith
Is found in thee
Who shines through
The shadows 
Of this misery 

For joy thou art
My song anew
So keep my eyes 
Upon thy giver 
Too

That for all the doubts 
That poison my mind
Pull back the curtains
And reveal thy truth

May it ever shine
This hope divine
Is not in vain  

For thou hast
Taken the pain
And made it thine

That life may be borne
Of you who 
Took the shame

For thy life
Becomes my own
When I surrender
To thy throne

-Joshua Lee Foist
