Previously this blog was used as a place of reflection and update while I was in Sierra Leone in 2006. However, I'm starting to use it again now for a new travel experience. I will be in Israel June 2nd-July 3rd working on an archaeological dig and touring around the country. This blog's purpose is to keep people updated and reflect on time spent in the Holy Land.

I am here

God totally blessed me with this song recently and so after finally finishing it tonight...I thought I'd share it...


There are days when I feel like nothing is as it was
The flowers have wilted, the light has dimmed
I am disappointed again for I placed my trust in mere humans
The joy I knew yesterday seems a distant dream today

I am here
Take me as I am
I am here
Take me as I am

I long to be in Your presence
But I am a slave to fear
I cannot lift my head alone
Father, draw near
I am here

Sometimes I take to heart who this worlds says I am
I’m left broken, feeling inadequate
I know You have not changed so why does this feel so different?
I need You to hold me close, bring new life to me

I am here
Take me as I am
I am here
Take me as I am

I long to be in Your presence
But I am a slave to fear
I cannot lift my head alone
Father, draw near

Lord I hear You whispering
My head simply can’t believe
Your Truth
Though I don’t understand Your love
I know what You would say to me,
You’d scream…

I am here
Let me take you as you are
I am here
Let me take you as you are

I am right here with you
Do not be a slave to fear
I will lift your head up high
Child, draw near

I am here
Let me take you as you are
I am here
I want you as you are

    I'm glad you like it. Actually I wrote that song myself.
