good morning to you, too

now i am awake. it is so beautiful outside. i miss you so much. i am so stupid.

i want to shake the dust and take you with me,
want to rub the rust off my face and breathe,
kiss sweet earth with lips unparched unchapped.
scared of every next move, excited.

this is what i have been given,
this is my suffering.
and though my ears rip away,
my skin fails and my elbows scab,
let my heart be permeable to You,
through the valleys though i go,
though my heart fails,
warm me through the snow,
hold me for Lord i know
at least you will never fail to love,
you will never fail to give,
hold me Lord, ever so close,
because it is for you that today, you know,
 i smile
and live.

--------

i want a taste, i want a touch,
i want to forever live,
in this undying love.

this undying love, unending grace
how sweet the melody
the song of those you embrace.

one day, Lord take me home,
i want to be with you
for here i feel so alone.

take me away, gifted with wings of eagles,
make me strong
teaching me humility before your people.

Lord my life is but a shadow,
and i fade away
for i reap what i sow.

but Lord, on that glorious, final day,
remember not everything i did
but what Jesus paid.
