Underneath

Heart pumping, veins bulging, eyes shot, brain bursting, blood dripping,  fist clinched  I press on toward the Goal. Who can understand?  Who can feel desolation sink its razor sharp  fangs in my heart? Who can know the pain I have endured?  O how many times have I fallen Father? Only You know. In my lack of understanding, how many times has my rage risen against You Father?  How many times have my eyes lead me astray? How many times have I fallen and the ground grows hands to pull me to the abyss?……  Yet I rise. Where else can I go? Whom else do I love but You O Lord!? Who else does my heart burn for but You Jesus!? Can I quit? No! Will I fear the demons of torment who visit me so often in the night? No! I will shout to the Lord strong and mighty in battle! Show me Your mighty right hand yet once again Father! Sweep across my enemies with the Sword of Your tongue! Grant me mercy and give me grace. Put a volcanic fire in my heart once more. Put fire in my eyes and lighting in my hands. Put thunder in my mouth. Give me brothers and sisters to hold me upright in battle. But most of all Father show me Your love, for it is that my heart most desires.
