If Your joy is my strength
let me hear it's song bounce from rocks and mountains
Loud and rushing as the wind
sweet and bubbling as a stream
warm and close like Papa arms
Up and Out!
Down and In
flowing
soaking
wafting in
heat my frozen bones
caress a weary head
And I'll accept all suffering

I am so forgetful about all I have in Christ, but Oh! how His joy can strengthen me when I remember

your strength assures my steps

This medicine is so hard to swallow
You show me
But my feet feel too heavy to follow
Each day
ends a bit more shallow
Give me the will to leave my wallow
and walk above in lengthened strides

The mountains call
So high and lofty peaks
do start to sing my name
so sweetly
Come walk among the clouds
and you will find the stars are not too far to reach

chain my heart to the bottom of the sea

Pull me beneath
Your waves
my pride fights
to keep my mouth above
Your loving breakers
Fights to fill my lungs with the poison air
inflates what ought to sink away
Sweep over me
and I will drown
*so sweetly

God's grace is boundless like an ocean, and our ego is the **** which keeps us from the waves of a wild and abundant life

I will not be a whitewashed tomb

I will open my chest wide to You
the doors must swing
and every gross and delicate thing
seen
let the cleansing air come rushing in
the blazing light reach its fingers
and penetrate each moldy corner
I will remove these old and broken bones
long lain limp upon the floor
and write Your name on every wall

cover up your feelings

Mama didn't wear make-up often
but she knew how to put on a good mask
All I saw were the tears that leaked out from underneath
