A Question Or The Answer?

The idea seems
Ridiculous.
Reaching out
For something,
Believing
In order to see.
That’s what faith is,
You’ve just gotta trust.
He loves you.
I don’t know
All the answers
Right now,
But I’ll find them for you
If it’ll take you closer.
Curiosity of heaven,
Nothing sounds
More beautiful.
Keep going,
Reach out,
Be reckless
In your belief.
Love is patient,
God will wait
For as long
As it takes.
Just believe
And you are saved,
Nothing else is required.
Falling
From eagle’s wings
To the world below—
But you’re caught
Before you hit
Solid ground.
He will carry you.

Release The Rain

On the edge
Hovering
How do I explain
What I’m feeling
At this very moment
And not release the rain?
It’s inside
Lurking there
Yearning to come down.
Leaking out
And when it does
Silent echoes will resound.
You’re here somewhere
I know You are
I just can’t seem to find
Where You’re at
Without losing my way
Or being left behind.
So many things are dealt with
Emotions I’m afraid to feel
When I’m scared that’s when Satan comes
To tell me You aren’t real.
But You, my God
You aren’t afraid
To let Your feelings show
In a beautiful spring day You made
Or in the winter snow.
Your tears don’t hinder
They encourage us to act
And not continue in this life
Forever sliding off-track.
So I’ll let ‘em fall
If it’ll take me deeper
They can slide
If it’ll make me stronger.
Drop to my knees and pray:
Release the rain.

And Protect Me

At the front lines
A sword in my hand
Right in the midst
Of the enemy’s land.
Stepping forward
My eyes straight ahead
I know where God wants me
I heard what He said.
The weapon is poised
Don’t know what’s in store
But I’m ready to fight
In this spiritual war.
This is the moment.
I turn to be sure
My army’s behind me
Just as they were.
But what do I see?
I should have known.
I don’t have an army now
I am alone.
With ten thousand men
Showing dismay
I drop to my knees in the dirt
And pray:
“Do something . . .
Take out your sword and protect me
I’m living to see His smile
Throughout all of eternity.”
