The Hard and the Holy

 Help me, Lord help me. Help me worship you in the hard and holy.

Help me lay prostrate for as long as it takes. I’ll worship you while my heart breaks. 

Help me worship you in the hard and the holy. 

You are Jehovah Adonai… and 

all my days I’ll sing of your glory. 

But again, I ask you LORD, help me worship in the hard and the holy.

Bitterness and strife attempt to steal my joy, but I’ve learned to preach the gospel to myself. 

Who do I have but you?

What more can I ask but to learn from you?

Where can I run but to you?

Help me worship you in the hard and holy.

I lay prostrate tears fall on the carpet floor…

To you alone Worship was designed for.

Ancient of Days, Giver of Life and Eternal Hope forevermore…

Help me worship you in the hard and holy.

To you alone my heart doth beat so this praise song mingled with lament my soul shall repeat…

Help me worship you in the hard and holy.

Others may laugh me to scorn, friends of Job they carry on…

Still Yahweh of Host I choose this request all the day long…

Help me worship you in the hard and holy.

One day the hard will be violently taken away, the holy alone will forever remain.

You are God, You are Good and the Promises of your Word shall never wane. 

Grant me the desires of my heart to worship you in this hard desert land, until that final day when more of your glory  I will see…

Every day Abba Father, more of you and a lot less of me…

Help me worship you in the hard and holy.
