How long, O Lord, must I live in the shadow of your blessing.
Never to feel the rain on my face.
Never to know your love overflowing.
Never to get lost in the abundance of You.
Here in the shadows, there is safe haven.
Never fully exposed to the elements.
Never completely vulnerable to the extremes.
Never revealed for the fool that I am.
Lord, I long to step out from the shadows.
To experience the extent of your mercy.
To share in your suffering and joy.
To know the full measure of life.
Lord, I choose to step out of the shadows.
So that I can witness your majesty.
So that I can testify to your goodness.
So that I can cast a shadow for the first time.
