BLIND SIGNS

BLIND SIGNS






Road closed, dead end
Signs I did not see.
In my pride and arrogance
Those signs were not for me
I crashed on through the warnings --
Surprise there's nothing there.
My soul just plummeted into a pit of dark despair.
Now there's no place to go, but up
How could I fall so far?
I did not heed the warning voice
Of conviction in my ear,
"Child look out, that road is closed. Stop right where you are. You can run and you can hide, but you won't get too far. You're never out of reach for Me, I'll catch you when you fall, Cause I'm the biggest God there is -- My Name is Lord of All."

Lord, You picked me up so very many times
Too scared to stand all by myself, I never saw You there. The life
that I was living brought so many close to You, they prayed for my
soul left and right, and Lord, You carried me through.
Dead end, Road closed.
Why did I grab the wheel? I tried to control my life and mis'rably
failed.
I crashed on through the warnings, I refused to yield. But now I
give myself to You, my heart and mind revealed.
You can see my essence
You know my every thought
You are the God I adore
I am the soul You bought.
What a precious God You are! What a Holy Lord!
I cannot lift Your Name enough nor thoroughly know Your Word.
Study hard and study long, Work my way on through
Till I reach my place of rest, Where I can worship You!

Into Conviction

INTO CONVICTION

Head down

Into the wind

Through the smoke
In the fire

The conviction of the Holy Spirit
is taking us much higher.
Head down, into the wind,
Through the smoke, in the fire.
Bringing us nigh unto God,
Praising Him our sweet desire.

Head down ,

Our souls weary,

Brokenhearted,

At His throne.

The conviction of the Holy Spirit
Makes our groanings known.
Head down, our souls weary
Brokenhearted, at His throne.
Bringing us nigh unto God
Prayers rise like sweetest songs.
