The Threshold

I will rest in His fidelity I will trust in what I cannot see

I'll obey even when it won't please me

Abandoned to Him I am free, Abandoned to Him I am free

When we put other things first confusion sets in

We delay and we settle for both good things and sin

When the best things are promised to those who obey

But obedience means trusting, and we're ill equipped today.

We stay at the threshold, so careful and so sure

For to trust is the one thing a self can't endure

God presses the point until we thirst

Until we learn to come to Him first.

Anthony Foster
