Charging Out of the Desert

No longer crumpled in brokenness

No more torment

No more fear

Voices silenced, purpose born

I came here lost

Imprisoned in body and soul

Surrounded by blue-shirted men

And tormentors in green

Also shackled within

Swimming in jungle of pain

Entangled by a snare of lies

My soul to was in chains

But the Word has rescued me

I spoke it and overcame

Not my might, not my power

His breath alone has freed me

Oh, I remember it

Of this there is no doubt

But the questions are gone

No more whispers

Nothing left to tempt

A holy fury rises within me

The Bride is rising

I am not the only one

We are many

Here we come

Rulers of this dark world

Get ready for your terror

Hand in hand with the Bridegroom

Fiercely we come now

We will drive you before us

Righteous rage released

No pity, no remorse

Joy even

To see you cringe in horror

Shackles shattering before us

The dead dance out of their tombs

An army of glory soldiers

Fearsome with the fury of holiness

Sprinting like Elijah

Raging like Samson

Dancing like David

Weeping like Jeremiah

Charging out of the desert

With His fire in our eyes

Heaven bent on your destruction

The Lion of Judah ROARS!!
