Do you know that passion you get to give your best?
The deep-down drive propelling you forward?
I watched, I listened, I participated.
I have seen passion and pain unfold.
Coming upon a year when the rain took away our schools, homes, businesses, city by the city just washed away.
Passion and pain unfolded
Do you know that passion to give it your all
We all stood together determined we would not let the other fall.
Eight days passed and hope came
pushed back the water so we'd begin.
Passion and pain unfolded
Do you know that passion to give your best?
The deep-down desire propelling you forward?
I watched, I listened, I participated
I have seen passion and pain unfold
You could have seen it in the people's eyes
Rising with each passing hour.
All the little eyes and ears
they watched, they listened, they participated.
There was no covering them to prevent them from knowing.
Loss, uncertainty, questions unanswered.
They saw the passion and the pain unfold.
All the details are important only for God to see because what character came after is what strengthened everyone to rise again.
Each person uniquely gifted with an assigned challenge.
All the details are only important for God to see.
This muddy mess, broken to pieces took all of the passion and pain everyone could gather. We built something beautiful on a foundation of blood, tears, and faith.
I watched, I listened, I participated
Passion and pain unfold.
Nothing is keeping us from growing, it is a faith united #moffettstrong because we face each struggle together, prayer first, a strategy later. Now our school year is cut short.
Loss, uncertainty, questions unanswered.
We've seen passion and pain unfold.
The day will come and I don't know when or where;
quarantine and isolation will tell a story out of the mouths of these little eyes and ears, as they watch, they listen, and they see the passion and pain unfold.
