I have spoken...

I Have spoken...

Yes I have,

and you have felt the heat of these words.

The warmth in your heart

has caused you to think...

and cry... and smile

and shout...

and laugh out loud.

The words I've spoken have given you hope,

given you joy, peace and growth.

I have spoken life into you

and now you bask in the glory of His love.

You no longer tremble in fear at the presence of the Master

for you have heard of His gentleness and kindness.

you've been hit by fire

from these lips of mine.

You have wished to leap for joy

for these words have made you whole.

With this simple amateur vocabulary

my lips have released fire from on high

quenching your dehydrated soul

and awakening the human spirit into full life.

Yes I have spoken

but not my own words

and not my own ideas

but what you hear is the truth that lives and gives life

I have spoken words so high above me

even I don't comprehend.

I have uttered mysteries beyond human understanding

with these simple lips of mine.

With unsophisticated words I have spoken,

and so I pray.

I pray that nothing vile would ever come out of me

that I may forever speak divine words,

words filled with life and not death.

Words that build up and not break down.

I pray that I may learn this language

the language of truth, the words of life

the truth of His word and the depth of His love.

Yes I have spoken

but truly, it is not I that speaks

but someone in me gives me utterance

He has lodged in me His life-giving mysteries

and His words are perfect and true in every way.

So don't fail to listen

for He who speaks through me is greater

than the image you see.

I'm only just a window

so don't look at me...

look through me

and you'll see His glory revealed.

Yes I have spoken

but truly, these words are not mine

so listen without judgement

listen to the words

and connect with their source...

God.
