Fly

July 5, 2008

I’ve been in this so long time has frozen in one place

I can’t see the right from wrong, all I see is the waste

I’ve made of all the gifts and all the time You gave to me

My focus quickly shifts from Your eyes onto my feet

The ground I walk uncertain, there’s sweat dripping from my nose

You’re pulling back the curtain on the damage in my soul

It hurts to run away from You, but even more to stay

I’m sick of not having a clue of what to do or say

But tired more am I of never being in control

I clench my fists so tight I dig deeper into this hole

I harden and grown numb but You refuse to leave my side

You still bleed out Your love, You still cry out Your life

I can’t escape from You so I open up my hands

You long to make me new, so I let go and hope You can

So light this life on fire, watch the ashes float away

Let hope outweigh where I’m so tired, restore where I’ve decayed

You replace these crippled legs with wings and set me free

You tell me I can fly, I take a step, and suddenly…
