I Will Lift My Eyes

Late last year I heard a song that spoke to me then, and continues to speak to me now. Entitled "I Will Lift My Eyes", the poignant lyrics are as follows:

God, my God, I cry out
Your beloved needs You now
God, be near, calm my fear
And take my doubt

Your kindness is what pulls me up
Your love is all that draws me in

I will lift my eyes to the Maker
Of the mountains I can’t climb
I will lift my eyes to the Calmer
Of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the Healer
Of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You

God, my God, let Mercy sing
Her melody over me
God, right here all I bring
Is all of me

‘Cause You are and You were and You will be forever
The Lover I need to save me
‘Cause You fashioned the earth and You hold it together, God
So hold me now

Blizzard!

Update: I've authored a short video clip of our drive down the mountain.

Our Friday morning drive from Westcliffe to Colorado Springs was successful...but greatly hampered by a blizzard (external link to msnbc.msn.com) blowing through the area.

Back in Cincinnati

Well, praise God, I have arrived safely back at GBS in Cincinnati!

Quick Update from COS - Gate 4

After five amazing days at over 8,000' I am now at the Colorado Springs airport waiting for my flight to Cincinnati which is scheduled to leave ~30 minutes.

This past Monday afternoon I arrived at the Seminary near Westcliffe, CO where my friend Michael has been studying. I was the Best Man at his wedding which took place on Thursday. In the next few days I plan to upload some photos of my wonderful time in Colorado. Here is one image of the view from near Westcliffe:

The peak on the right is Horn Peak which reaches 13,450 feet
