to walk in their sandals

i desire to abide on the mountaintop
for i am like moses; and long for Your glory
and i wish i could reach to the heavens
for i am like jacob; and dream of that day

i crave the moment when i will sit at Your feet
for i am like mary; and find nothing more precious
and i hunger for the moment that You call me 'friend'
for i am like abraham and would give You all i love

i covet the days when You will go before me
for i am like david; broken, yet anointed
and i seek out the moments when i see Your eyes of fire
for i am like john; and declare You are sovereign

i want to know how it feels to be restored by Your touch
for i am like the sick woman; diseased, afflicted, and desperate
but i know that You're faithful and i'll love You forever
for i am like job and know You are God.
