vision

I continue to walk a rocky journey but know very well, that God is characterized by trustability. People and things have an affinity to disappointment, but God...God is the firm foundation. My unshakeable Source of Life.

Lord,
help me to understand the seasons and the times--especially when it doesn't make sense to me. Help me to let go in order to take hold... Help me to forgive in order to love. Grant me understanding when I don't agree. Let the words of this song still resonnate in my heart. Let me not grow cold nor hard. I want to be free again. Layin' all down, paying the cost and being led by You... no matter how high the waves are. Let me be captivated by Your vision and Your heart again. Grant me eyes to see...

A song I learned 7 yrs ago, yet everytime I feel I need to surrender, the chorus comes to mind... and more the last little while... So I'm resurrecting this song! May it be a prayer to you as well. Bless you abundantly,


by a. waters/j. day

i see a vision of a generation coming back to you
i see a vision of a generation getting lost in you
hands raised high, with one voice they cry to a holy god
i once was blind, but now i see your love for me

i see a vision of a generation crying out to you
i see a vision of a generation bowed down before you
on our knees, Lord have mercy for we have sinned
come wash us clean, we long to see your glory, your glory

so take my life, i'm giving it all to you
whatever you want me to do, i'm gonna follow you
my mind's made up, i'm gonna pay the cost
just to see salvation of the lost

jesus is coming again, he's coming again
jesus is coming again, he's coming again

i see a vision of a generation sold out for you
i see a vision of a generation that would die for you
refiner's fire is our heart's desire to be like you
as we decrease, Lord you will increase, hallelujah, hallelujah

Hey, do you know who wrote this song? I remember hearing it on a missions trip to West Virginia, but I haven't heard it since.

Hey guys, I'm not sure about A. Waters. But the guy who wrote it, his name is John Day, and the song was published on a Cd called "1750" (which included other great song "Rest" and "1750").

The album is REALLY hard to find, I'm still looking :P

Yep, It is AnneMarie Feltman-Waters and John Day. They both attended The City Church in Kirkland Washington when the song was written, so that church might have a recording or the Chord Chart.

I have a recording of this song. John Day wrote it and He attented the City Church just as someone had previously posted. The city chrch is also very well known for "generation church" which is their youth ministry which is headed up by judah smith. And judah smith has preached all over the world and has been a keynote speaker at the hillsong conference in sydney australia several times.
