I started the car
But I didn't get that far
I sat until the air drew thin
Still I stayed, even then
I waited for my death
Stripping myself of breath
My Savior opened the garage
And saved me from my *******
So I will drive out
And let the Lord direct my route
I wrote this back in December. I’ve used before the analogy of a car or driving to represent where I’m at in my faith, such as in “Cruise Control” or when I said before that I’m “far from home”. Here, I’m using it to say that I tried, myself, to get out of the darkness, or to live in the light of God. But I can’t do it by myself. If I had relied on my own strength, I would have still been dead spiritually. But God figuratively opened the garage door, or took me out of the darkness I was living in, and opened me up to the light. Now I’m able to take this vessel, me, and allow God to use it to bring His light to the world.
