Akacia - Journal lyrics

Reaching Climber Seeking Higher Savior Granting Heart's Desire Target the mark The High Call of God Pressing on The High Call of God Valley's Shadow Broken vessel Caught in battle Dark opressor Target the mark The High Call of God Pressing on The High Call of God Pressure falls upon me Crushing on my chest Oh, I cannot breathe Locked in a skin-tight metal vest Icy diamond sky above me A chilling night all by myself Unending as the days go by Guilty and a victim of the lie In the visceral Melee I will call out Your Name Jesus, guide me out of the Conditions of my life But if this cup won't pa** And I must consume it all Uphold me with Your strength Or I will surely fall Thoughts like oozing liquid From reality to dreams they flow I cannot concentrate But I cannot let it go This is poverty in spirit This is mourning over sin This is thirsting for Your righteousness This brokenness I'm in In the visceral Melee I will call out Your Name Jesus, guide me out of the Conditions of my life But if this cup won't pa** And I must consume it all Uphold me with Your strength Or I will surely fall Weight of glory Let the terror and the awe Upon our souls Let it fall Holiness, Holiness In moments we cease speaking Make us still Let us know that You are God Holiness, Holiness Weight of glory As the chilling dome above Blue steel by day Rich diamond tapestry by night Holiness--crying silent-- Holiness Eternal words express the conflict Is there sufficiency in knowing Can we move to embrace? Or wait on the initiative of grace? As we fix on unsure reflections As we wait in holy desire At the end of this life this mission We await the beatific vision And is it now, You're pa**ing by? And with our retrospective gaze Only after will we see it? Await the day we see Your Face As we fix on unsure reflections As we wait in holy desire At the end of this life this mission We await the beatific vision Approaching that which is oh so Holy, oh so Sacred It was such a great injustice, oh My Lord That they condemned You to d**h- Crucified You Though Innocent You bleed and die Oh mystery hidden from the ages Oh Messiah, Jesus crucified In all our wisdom We could never arrive In all our wisdom We could never arise Oh mystery, hidden from the ages Oh Jesus, God incarnate Crucified Blood poured, our souls to save Buried and on the third day Risen from the grave In the sands of the desert where water was scarce You have opened the floodgates of heaven In a world of deception where lies would take rule You have spoken and shown us the Truth And The Spirit of God shall prevail And His power shall never fail Word of grace to impart/ giving life to the heart The Spirit of God Purpose and fulness behind every moment The sweetness of everywhere being Your hand Causing to work towards good--in fullfillment Holding each breath and beside every step Lifting, uplifting, reshaping, my life Torrents and storms but divinely I'm kept How can I thank You Lord? I am only spit and dust Yet You love me, yet You give me Endless life/undying trust Endless life/undying trust I could cry so hard and long That I run out of salt for my tears Even this would not express The gratitude, devotion and pa**ion You're owed
