... the victor of the battle
High Noon"High noon in the valley of the shadow When the shadows were shot through with light and the mouth of the tomb shouted "GLORY the Groom is alive!" So long, you wages of sin. I said, go on, don't you come back again. I've been raised and redeemed All praise to the King The Victor of the battle. High noon in the valley, in the valley of the shadow. Andrew Peterson | I love Andrew Peterson's lyrics - I love the imagery. Lately, I've been struggling with my own failure in so many areas - a lack of self discipline, a lack of passion, a lack of the desperation I had not so long ago. The little voice in my head says "Jan, you're a disappointment". But while I was taking a walk along the beach yesterday, enjoying the wind and the sound of the waves, these words popped into my head. "I've been raised and redeemed - all praise to the King - the Victor of the battle...". And the other Voice in my head said "I'm NOT disappointed. I'm delighted. I'm the author and FINISHER of your life and it just so happens I'm not finished with your life yet!" Final word: HE WINS! (and so do I). |
