it's time to surrender whatever "should" be and make peace with whatever simply "is"

Outside
Nyaituga Jun 2019
There's a whole world waiting outside your head
And it's a beautiful place, open the door, have a look.

CROWNED
Nyaituga Dec 2024
Exaltation has a cost
That I cannot afford
Christ was lifted on a cross
He wore a crown of thorns

Silent to the slaughter
He opened not His mouth
He didn't fawn for favour
Or fight to prove Himself

Now, He turns to us and says,
"Come, sit here next to Me
When you take the lowest place
You're in Good Company."

grow, bloom, wither and die
die, grow, bloom and wither
wither, die, grow and bloom
bloom, wither, die and grow

You don't call the dawn cruel for taking its time - not when you've seen a sunrise

Nyaituga Feb 2024
I asked God to soften my heart and winced when His shovel hit the soil; mourned when it rained, wailed as He tore the weeds from their throne in my soul.

Now, a year on, I've tasted and seen: He really is good, and so is His fruit.

the last enemy
Nyaituga Sep 2024
"Death, be not proud"
Your turn will come
Your sting is gone
Our King has come

And with His heel
Crushing your head
It won't be long
'Til death is dead

Buoyant
Nyaituga Sep 2024
You make me buoyant:
Walking on waves
Sleeping in storms
Over the swell
Over the tides that rise and fall
You and I are buoyant
"When you go through deep waters
I will be with you.
When you go through rivers of difficulty
You will not drown..." Isaiah 43:2a

Win or Lose
Nyaituga Oct 2024
I am in my Father's house
So I am safe and sound
There is no loss He can't redeem
There is no gain He won't exceed

Dandelion
Nyaituga Sep 2024
The world is ending!
It's all on fire!
God is healing
The cosmic divide
And yet, He still takes the time
To stoop and make a dandelion

What other deity
Names the stars and
Counts our hairs
All at once?
Indeed, there is no other God
Indeed, I know not one.
"Do not tremble; do not be afraid.
    Did I not proclaim my purposes for you long ago?
You are my witnesses—is there any other God?
    No! There is no other Rock—not one!”
Isaiah 44:8

Morning
Nyaituga Sep 2024
There's a light that lingers until dawn
It shines bright and brighter until the perfect day
