Despair or Holiness

I am broken
This place of pain is a fork in the road
Two paths lie before me
One towards despair and the other to holiness
But what shall I choose?

Oh Sovereign God, You have brought me here
Pain is an ally to those who desire Your likeness
The broken heart opens the way for Your presence
There is a need there like nowhere else

And in this place, I yearn for You

The road is blurred, yet Your Spirit moves
The movement is felt by the sensitive soul
Like the wind, You are here and You are there
But where should I place my foot?
And where does my first step lie?

Show me the way of truth
For I desire Your likeness

And yearn to be Your delight
Holiness is found in brokenness
And joy is the promised end to mourning.
