Letting go

Letting go the branch in the flood
Feels like drowning, head in the bone
Take me with you, river of blood
To see me rising on a stepping stone

Empower me, Master of mine
Let your sun again shine
Let your Son raise vine
Out of water divine

What have you done to me perpetrator of all
Neither might nor sword will conquer my soul
I’ll fight back as hard as I can
By cutting off your unspoken ban

Timeless rest surrounds me awhile
You nourish me with your vial
Take me along in your hand
Over grain and over sand

Loneliness

Loneliness embraces me as the shadows sink
Familiar feeling I know you but too well
To crush in my redemption I must take the fall
Fall with me – don’t leave me alone

Darker times ahead
The rivers of glory depend on what you sow
The finished works of Jesus cannot grow
Unless the grain falls dead

Along the watch towers no news
Pure trust keeps the flame burning
An inquiry of nothing to lose
Fills out the formless yearning

Bleed with me my saviour
Take me back in dreams
Wanna dwell in the circle of love
Where’s your secret garden grove
