Behind tools
Purchased to
Appease loneliness?
Who's tired of being hurt
Trusting others
To share burdens?
Its hard to not be bitter
So take the hammer to our hearts.
When it's hard to not be bitter
Take an anvil to these hard
Hard hearts.
We're tired of hearing
That your only watching,
But pain is not
Designed for avoiding.
It's just a small part of
Your plan.
So, when You play
The flute we'll dance.
And when we hear
Your harp we'll
Hold Your hand.
The Dance is coming.
Write it in a scroll.
Bury it in a cave.
Let the future know
Our determination.
If only we could
See our enemies
Through all this
Flesh and Blood,
Blood and Flesh.
Our hesitation is
Not doubt.
But stillness, waiting.
Eyes covered
By blood drenched
Sins, see only
A mirror dimly.
Yet opened ears hear
A harp far off,
Coming closer.
Quiet your heart.
Do not awaken
Love until it so desires.
For lusts are at
Our door!
For all things are
Now in His hands.
Sit and wait or
Stand and build.
Just be ready.
The flute is coming.
Redemption is coming.
Let the monsters
And demons tremble
We will dance for all
To see.
We once feared Him too
Until He brought us close.
My Sister and I will wait
For the dance is coming.
Work is Worship
Work, work
Bring it closer
Until it is upon us.
Until everyone can
See.
Display the beauty.
Display the skill.
The curtain is torn
It shall be hidden
no more.
Work and build
In your heart a
Place for Glory.
Remove the idols
Remove the schemes.
Establish dignity and peace
Righteous deeds and strength.
Build a place for generations
Of children and their children
To feed.
loved this. honest, real and approachable yet not simplistic.
