it's friday

this is the song of promise

in the middle of me hurting so much

that i’m just a little closer to pain

than i am to joy. 

forgiveness wells up inside of my heart

like i am a fountain

filled with water from a Living Source. 

and though things will never be the same

i can drip drip drip

all over those close to me until we can both sing

i’ve been healed.

i’ve been healed.

i’ve been healed.

this is the song of belief

in the middle of me forgetting what it is like

to dance upon the heights

by the side of the Lover of my soul

Who’s embrace is like a glowing fire

warm warm warm

against my cold little skin.

love me.

love me.

please.

this is the song of tomorrow

in the middle of a today that feels an awful like a yesterday

i thought i’d always have.

but the Spirit is of change, and change is of pain,

and i am of both.

i can drip drip drip

until i am warm warm warm

beside the fire of Your Love for me,

drinking from the depths of Your care.

because this is the song of promise

in the middle of me hurting so much.

and when you sing yourself forward

you gotta go.

you gotta go.

you gotta go.
