Job 9&10 and Resolution

so close that we can not escape
so far above that we can't stand
the reaching up that never ends
who can ever make reply
who can try to reason why
and who can ever make 
this separation end

there is no one who understands
there is no one to go between
we're reaching out
but falling short
this longing empty fills our lives

we need a man who knows of god
a god who comes to go between
a loving priest to make amends
before you Lord, oh who can stand?

the perfect man, a living way
to know the heights and dive the depths
to come full close and reach our hearts
to fully close our separation
and to end our condemnation
you have met the Lord's decrees
you have made our souls go free

still i can not make reply
you are Holy, Christ on high
now we stand before the throne
joined in you, completely home.

A song I wrote



Little Baby Lord
A Christmas Song

(I know i'm not the best singer and it's not the best song ever, but i wanted to share it)
:)

Lyrics-

Little baby in the cold
Body wrapped with swaddling clothes
Heaven in those strips of rags
the shepherds fall in wonder.
God revealed in flesh and bone
Plans to reconcile a world
To pay the debt we'd die to own
All drowning, going under

Little baby Lord
In your will we stand
Through the fate you bore
We're alive within.
Justifying death
On a cursed tree
Our new life began
On the day that you were born

Little baby lying there
All God's fullness in your eyes
Come to live to die alone
Forsaken by your Father
All our sin you'll take away
Condemnation fully swayed
We give our lives in praise to you
And worship full of wonder

epiphany

I've been struggling to understand what you mean when
you say you satisfy my every need
but lying here i understand a part
your joy is full enough to satisfy my heart
the love i want you freely give
if i'm not full i'm filling from an empty source
when all the bounty you have planned
is far beyond what i'm clutching in my hands
I want to fill my heart, but you
want to take it past that, you
want to give me a new heart
entirely which will be far beyond
the limits i've been thinking of

grace so full with you is found
grace to cover all my sins
let the healing streams about
make and keep me pure within
