and I Groaned

and my heart was happy

while the angels sang

in words that only You can hear

Their cries rose out and over

encompassing this man

encompassing and overflowing

as Your messengers sang

You took him away and brought him back again

brand new

His eyes glowed and shone of Your mercy

clothed in Your banner of love

his spirit ever singing Your praise and Your grace

Oh holy Lord

Oh holy Lord

Oh holy Lord

You won

You are life

You are

As Your countenance shone through mine

You overflowed

Your love on all that were infiltrated by Your miracles

who foresaw and believed

with empty hands and full hearts

they sang with me as I was embellished

who You are

as You chose to prove who You are

I heard my soul singing

in our secret prayer songs

and I groaned

Amen

Dedicated to Lynn’s Brother

The Mission

Louder than the wind

I hear the screams

The accusations

The fighting

All the times you didn’t know how

to choose joy

The whirlwind never stops

The one that keeps my voice

out of your head

Judgement

Defiance

Defenselessness

fed by a spirit you know well

but not by name

I want nothing more than to love you

I have gone to the ends

of the world & back

I chose you

I will never give up

So I will wait

Even if it is your last breath

I will hear you

when you choose joy
