Show me

what i show you.

You claim things about me that 

frankly, i do not see

nor do i claim.

.

eagles wings

eagles wings youve given me

to flee the rivers pursuing me

to swallow me up

beckoning me

you invite me away from my coping

.

But instinct:

You want me to go where the eye doesn’t see

Shadows where danger lurks…

they wait for me there

with branches broken to pierce me thru

So i

i go where The eye never ceases to see me.

.

for all my safehouses are being knocked down

Why would i return to any of them 

when the whole earths shaking

and one by one i see them falling?

.

I cannot keep myself from dying

.

i think that im breathing

That im keeping myself alive

but you are breathing me alive.

.

i am helpless before this consuming fire

yet i am not consumed…

.

i am thoroughly known

and yet i unknow

.

beware o my soul not to look back

not to return to the cities he called me out of

beware o my soul not to walk backwards 

towards the mountains my alters still smolder in…

.

i am saved

i am redeemed

I am thoroughly known

thoroughly loved

.

i am known

.

You dont know

but

i am known

.

hes chosen me

.

thru no merit of my own

despite my wrestling 

i am chosen

.

i will see His face.

this sustains me

as my mountains fall

and my valleys rise.
