Tears hang on the edge of lashes
That was once coated in black, but
With tear wave after wave washes
Was swiped to side in sooty cut
…
A hand lifted to back of neck
Pressing down, eyes squeezed tightly shut
A muttered word, “For goodness sake.”
A dull thudding in head and gut
…
A smile, edge burdened with pain
The laugh where a sob is concealed
Silence, for words will show the one
Of the light she carefully shields
…
God knows she has given her all
Goad knows she`s tried her very best
He knows she`s heeded ev`ry call
She did all she could on each test
…
She trusted that those she cared for
Would have her best interest at heart
Yet looking at what`s come before
Feels that they have torn her apart
…
Abba, You know I’ve been trying
I want to help, to serve, to love
But I’ve felt as if I`m dying
Falling off the edge with a shove
…
I am getting out now, Abba
You have, given me Your strong hand
Told me, “Enough now, Yedidyah.”
You are placing me on dry land
…
“People continue to fail, dear.”
“They will break you and steal from you,”
“I won`t leave you desolated, hear?”
“I will lift you and sustain you”
…
The plan I have for you is good
Close your ears to their words, my dove
Listen to My voice and I could
Lead you to My plan of real love
…
My love will rejoice in your right
And in changing your world to peace
For you, love, I’ll go on to fight
I`ve measured for you a good piece
