I don't know a lot of things
but I know the light
I feel when you are around me
I know that the Lord gives such light
the kind to be shared
and not to be strapped up and stored away
no this is something to be displayed
and as I search the scriptures
and sing His songs
my heart lifts
and sings along
my voice, scratchy, lays silent and still
but is this Your will
to get me to be
so it will be You and me?
Your words they hurt
in a way that heals
as You tell me that You
have created
and known me
before my first breath
first step
first awkward moment or thought
before any bad moment
brought tears to my eyes
and pain in my heart
You knew
and the beautiful thing?
You still do.
Lord, take this heart of mine
wrap it up
and heal it fast
that we may move past
this moment closer to
the things You have called us to do
that is my prayer
You who have protected Your people
always
and who have set out the world
not in stone
but in a beautifully carved wave
that crashes and builds
and weilds
time within its pulsing current
and as the past
creeps in to grasp the present
time is bent
moments relived are not real
and so God heals
He brings our heart to His hands
and He pushes and pulls
till we can be no more full
of awkward pulsing pain
and with a quick release
peace
rushes in...
//
Psalm 139
