March 4, 2009
Sitting on a staircase leading up a thousand floors
to a hundred disappointments waiting behind rows of doors
a tear for every memory
to coat the steps behind
eyes lifted in uncertainty
as, upward still, she climbs
Every question, fear and lie is raging in her head
drowning out reality, muffling what You said
her eyes now colored bloodshot
her throat now raw with screams
her back riddled, tense with knots
decaying hopes and dreams
Why does she stay this deadly course of feeling she is in?
Why does she so spend herself, knowing she'll never win?
A thought, a vision, faintest sound
appears within her heart
it rises hopes she thought she'd drowned
it shreds her world apart
"The choice is yours now, angel...and always it has been
to leave this drought of disappointing death and live again.
Your hopelessness has maddened you
and kept you on this road
you choose these lies over My truth
and up, and up you go
As if one of these doors you keep looking behind
will ever hold the treasure you long for, yet never find
I know it's hard to hear My voice
between your cries of pain
but YOU, My love can quiet the noise
that's making you insane
Don't look left or right or up or down for your escape
look long, look high, look deep, look wide...look beyond the staircase
it's time for bigger things for us
it's time you rise above
it's time you take the risk and trust
it's time you fall in love
Together we will take the world and make our dreams come true
if you'll say yes, I'll take your heart and breathe life into you
I'll strengthen where you're tired
I'll heal you where you hurt
I'll stir within your heart a fire
whisper how much you're worth
Look beyond the things you think, the things you see and feel
only in what's unknown, unseen will you discover REAL
just jump off of the staircase
take a breath, eyes open wide
then land safe in my embrace
I know you're scared...but try
...and only when you lose yourself in Me
the lies fade out.
You're stepping into destiny
to hell with fear and doubt."
