"CRY, CHURCH CRY!!!"

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
My name is Tara Ferris. My husband and I pastor a church in Wellton, Arizona... This has been on my heart to submit for some time. I believe this is a picture of many in the church today.

In the stillness I will wait
in the quiet I will rest
For the touch of the one I long to see
The one that I know best

The strings of my soul are taunt listening for His voice
The eyes of my heart are fixed,
searching, straining to see His form

Whether He comes or not this is the position I must take.
For all of my being...All of my life is set in motion for this Holy
refrain.

My desire, my longing , the reason I am here is for Him.
I live to know Him, to hear Him, to see Him, to touch Him.
So I wait, in expectation I wait, for I know He will come

But still there is the question. The striving from within.

What do I have to offer? That He would reveal Himself to me.
What do I have to give that He would touch me and set me free?

Nothing --------- I have nothing

All I have to give is me....Just me.

Will He accept this gift I offer
Is it enough so He will come?
I lay it on the altar.

My humanness is before me like a wet cloak it weighs me down.
I struggle and wrestle and strive with myself.
In the end it is useless and I am still losing ground

But still...the motion of my spirit is being drawn to Him.
The hope of my heart does soar.
Would He....Could he....Desire me.
Just me with nothing to offer more.

Am I enough ??
ON THE WINGS OF THE WIND HE RIDES

Am I enough?
ON THE WINGS OF THE EAGLE HE SOARS

Am I enough?
HIS VOICE IS OVER THE WATERS

Oh am I enough?
HIS VOICE FLASHES AND ROARS

Could I please be enough!!

Could I please be enough!!

HIS VOICE THUNDERS FOREVERMORE!!!!!

IT SHAKES THE DESERT AND TWISTS THE MIGHTY OAK
IT SPLITS THE CEDAR AND STRIPS THE FOREST BARE
IT'S THE VOICE THAT I LONG FOR
THE VOICE THAT I LIVE FOR
HIS VOICE
. . . THAT ESTABLISHES AND RESTORES.

I BELIEVE THIS IS THE HEART CRY OF MANY IN THE CHURCH TODAY. FOR MANY
THE LABOR HAS BEEN LONG AND HARD BECAUSE THE PROCESS HAS BEEN LONG.

THEY START TO WONDER IF WHAT THEY BRING IS ENOUGH. There is a cry going
forth-- a cry from the heart,

"DO NOT HOLD BACK CHURCH. IT IS THIS VERY CRY FROM OUR HEARTS THAT WILL
UNLEASH THE ANSWER AND VOICE OF GOD. MANY HAVE FELT BARREN. MANY HAVE
LABORED HARD WITH NOT MUCH VISIBLE FRUIT."

"GOD HAS HEARD YOUR CRY LIKE HANNAH AND RACHEL. THE SEED THAT IS
PLANTED FROM THIS HEART CRY IS MIGHTY AND BIRTHS HIS AUTHORITY."

"CRY CHURCH, CRY!!!
