that presence still lingers

i don't know why songs like one voice and lord pour out your spirit always draw me back to the time when i was on my knees praying with a group of young ppl that had the same heart cry. we were interceding for our city, for our friends... very rarely for ourselves maybe because we couldn't see the fact that we can end up in this stage now. honestly until now i still do not understand if i am in the stage of spiritual maturity (when my religion is no longer bound in the 4 walls of the church) or derailment. i could not judge exactly how we are doing individually but the external, we are all scattered, with different opinions, we can hardly agree with anything important anymore.

while we were singing i went on my knees, i entered in my mind the room that we were once in to catch that spirit.
"God let those we prayed for then, those who were saved, who were healed, who were weak but strong now. God let them pray for us now that who are weak. at least we know some are remembering us in prayer when we do not have the strength to do so ourselves.

won't you also bind all of us who were there once again. those things that used to bind our hearts together - the knowledge that we are all ragamuffin, the fact that we all genuinely care for each other, the part that we all share the same dreams, the joy of seeing YOU in each of our lives. God removes all the complication of adulthood, remove all the miscommunication and doubts that had come between us. help us that we can see eye to eye that we may dare to enter each other lives once again."
