"Your Love"

Gapped heart as wide as the horizon
Glasses on, quicken the blackness of dusk
Said goodbye to dear friends
And the sky's been crying as we travel today
Hide away to feel safe
Hunger is a pain, just like heartache
Feel the silence drowning out all noise
Carry on; on and on
No plan near
Still we run
Ever steady
On and on

Yesterday's manna rotten in my mouth
I did not gather new today
Been fighting against you all day
Beating the air
Cowering in wasted love
Broken

Daddy
"Your love tears me up
When it's done puts me together.
Your love calls me out of my doubt and my failure"

Limp in your arms
Sunglasses on
Hair up
I mouth the words I haven't the strength to voice

"your love tears me up
When it's done puts me together.
Your love calls me out of my doubt and my failure"

Im afraid I'll lose myself if I give myself to You
But it's a battle worth losing
I know it's true



[Quotations taken from Shane and Shane's "Your Love"]

steady, now

One last stop that I can foresee
the months ahead lay shrouded in thickest cover
awaiting living breath to raise them from their unborn slumber
I’ve never been one without a plan
I find that I am without one, now
but I am fully here
My thoughts were always elsewhere
flitting towards the next moment
the present fleeting and forgotten
the past a gray haze
now, the days are full and real
slow, but alive
tangible
filled with whisperings of Fatherly assurance
I am here
I am finally here
How thankful I am for this purposed stall
my slate is clean, and You hold my heart
I knew how to run
now You’re teaching me to walk
what a gloriously simple endeavor
May I never forget the beauty in waiting
