The Wilderness Within

I crave this wilderness that you have called me to.

I crave this deep dependence to only You.

I do not fear the cries at night or the howls of the dark

because it is only your whispers that I seek out.

You overwhelm me with your presence and 

wash over me with your promise--I am Yours.

My soul longs for this place of stillness, where battles

are being won and bondages are undone.

You have called me to this land of barrenness, 

You have emptied me of all I know,

Filling me with your wonder.

Take me deeper into this wilderness,

call me your child of promise,

lead me out of distraction, 

'till I search for only You.

You are my Promise
