Stand firm, He says
Do not be swayed or dismayed
Stand firm, He says
Knowing I command the waves
Don’t let impatience have its voice
Calling you away or aside
Don’t rush ahead to force change
Convinced by your own pride
No, stand firm, He says
In my will and in my way
Stand firm, He says
For I rule this and every day.
Two are better than one, they say
So please send someone my way
But not just any man will do
He must know, seek and follow You.
“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
I can’t hear a thing
When did it get so silent in here?
All the answers disappeared
Just waiting for a message from up there
Are my ears clogged
Did you pull the curtain?
Maybe my speech is too flawed
Of this I’m pretty certain.
Thank you for loving me where I am
You remove all rules and regulations
The broken woman that I am
Needs no excuse or explanation
I am free to live and trust in You
I am free from my past restraints
You’ve designed the perfect life for me
The narrative I don’t need to repaint
Sometimes
we just need little pushes
little touches
from the unknown
to inspire us, to remind us
we are not alone
