The future choices we must make
Before time steals our youth
Before order and innocence
Has been swallowed by truth,
What is this prison?
These invisible bars
A cell of indecision
A night without stars
Trapped by fear
The unknown the unseen
The answers are rare
Beyond my reach
Overwhelmed by volume, shadows and tides
I thought I was grounded
But I’m tethered by time
Desperate for clouds, a fire, direction
Sinking in silence
Crippled by perfection
Waves of impossible, wash over my soul
I step forth in faith
Yet recoil in doubt
Held in one place
When you’re calling me out.
It feels like a war in the parts that remain
Do I slip through these walls?
Tear off these chains?
How can I move, when surrounded by fences
Confined by swollen reasons
Entombed by stony thoughts
Broken by faults; Memories forgot
Trying my best, begging God to deliver
Where is my rest?
My Prince of Peace
IS this all a test?
So my trust will increase
When I cannot decide
And my choices are stormy
When I’m wounded by pride
Injured with weakness
Still, stolen and hopeless…
“Bring me out to bring me in”
You’ve done it before
You can do it again.
