Repeat

I have known about this poem for sometime, but it wasn't until recently that it has meant so much to me. In the world we live in it is a constant struggle for me to place my trust anywhere. Time and time again I need to remind myself that we are part of a bigger story, that there is purpose in life, and that there is hope. Not just a hope for tomorrow, but a hope for today.

Fatigue

My God is only as big as I let him be and

I am not gonna limit my God with my disbelief

My God has always, always been there for me

and I am not gonna limit my God with uncertainty

I DON'T HAVE MUCH! (but it might amount to a mustard seed)

I beg for miracles and then I breathe

I scream for signs and wonders and then my heart keeps its beat

But you've got to go through the fire to be refined - yeah!

There's a huge sense of helplessness in a hopeless time...

Well, I am yours and you are mine, and we are one in a kind.

So sang the birds and the bees

when I was not strong enough to sing anything;

if you care and provide for the least of these,

then how much more will you look over me?

I don't have much, but it might amount to a mustard seed,

and I've seen you move mountains and

command the winds and waves of the seas

on a whim so much smaller than me, singing:

God is bigger than the air I breathe; the world will leave.

And God will save the day, and all with sing

my glorious.
