"Find You On My Knees" - Kari Jobe



Troubles chasing me again,
Breaking down my best defence,
I'm looking, God, I'm looking for you
Weary just won't let me rest and fear is filling up my head.
I'm longing, God I'm longing for you

But I will find you in the place I'm in, find you when I'm at my end,
Find you when there's nothing left of me to offer you except for brokenness.
You lift me up, you'll never leave me thirsty,
When I am weak, when I am lost and searching
I'll find you on my knees.

So what if sorrow shakes my faith,
What if heartache still remains,
I'll trust you, my god I'll trust you.
'Cause You are faithful and

I will find you in the place I'm in, find you when I'm at my end,
Find you when there's nothing left of me to offer you except for brokenness.
You lift me up, you'll never leave me thirsty,
When I am weak, when I am lost and searching
I'll find you on my knees, my knees.

When my hope is gone, when the fear is strong
When the pain is real, when it's hard to heal
When my faith is shaken and my heart is broken and my joy is stolen, God I know that

You lift me up, you'll never leave me searching,

Find you in the place I'm in, find you when I'm at my end,
Find you when there's nothing left of me to offer you except for brokenness.
You lift me up, you'll never leave me thirsty,
When I am weak, when I am lost and searching
I'll find you on my knees.

PEEVED AT EVE

Was driving along today and decided to turn on the radio, which is a rare thing for me cos I prefer to play my own music so I know exactly what to expect. So anyway, was listening to the radio and Implication by 2Face came on. Apart from it's catchy beat, it also has a somewhat clever chorus. Translated from Idoma (the tribe in Benue State that ISN'T tiv) it literally says, "she ate, she ate, she gave her husband to eat..." basically talking about Adam and Eve as the ultimate illustration of Implication (you know, as in Eve implicated Adam, etc). You know the song, you love the song, but it got me musing. Why are we always so quick to condemn poor eve? Just what did we expect her to do? Bear with me a while, let me make a point here. Eve was the first woman. Lovely, nuturing, maternal, caring, selfless woman. She wasn't the one whom God gave the instruction about the 'forbidden fruit' (which has NEVER been described as an APPLE, by the way, in any Bib...

Manna and Quail

Every other day it seems some lucky person is winning millions in some gsm network’s promo, or a car in a bank raffle draw, or a trip to Dubai, or a scholarship to some foreign university, or a US green card, or...... you probably get the drift. Sometimes I fantasize about what I’d do with a million dollars in winnings. I think about improving the lives of myself and my loved ones through various feats of superhuman generousity, and of being set for life :) But all too soon the day dawns with its sobering realities and I’m back in the daily grind, living the life of the average civil servant in the rapidly dwindling entity that is the Nigerian middle class. Sigh Basically, I get so caught up longing for the miracles of parted seas, fiery pillars and powerful plagues that I fail to acknowledge, and be grateful for, the miracles of manna and quail. I have a job, a roof over my head, a family that loves and adores me, and I’ve never had to sit and stare at my wife wonderin...

Baby Steps

I love writing. I don't get to write nearly as much as I'd like to, but I absolutely love it. Anyone who's met me, and also read anything I've written, would probably testify that I write better than I speak. It's much more liberating, especially being freed from speech impediments and pronunciation somersaults. I have been working on a few things, which I hope I'll get to share in time, but I recently thought to try and improve myself. So I entered a short story contest. It proved to be much more challenging than I thought, especially as it was exactly what it said it was, SHORT. 300 words short! Anyway, faced with a busy schedule, an impossible timeline and the inconvenient and almost diabolic paralysis of writers block, I turned to real life to inspire what would prove to be halting baby steps in the turbulent waters of the author. Is it autobiographical? Hehe, wouldn't you wish. It's fiction, so please don't start calling to express your ...
