my mind is racing. it won’t be still.
anticipating the fall that kills.
this joy You’ve placed inside my soul,
i’ve locked it up and it won’t grow.
in fact it’s dying as once before,
i’m scared of allowing it to my core.
my head knows it’s safe to let my heart feel,
but my heart is covered sometimes with steel.
i give up to easily, i give in to the lies,
“you’re all bound up and will never fly.”
I need You to cut the rope holding me down.
You’ve done it before, but I wrap it back around.
Trust is the word You whisper to my heart,
i hear it on surface, but need it in the deepest parts.
melt the iron gate that i open and close.
met it down and under my toes.
let it seep into the dirt,
i’ll stand upon and no longer hurt.
come through my heart and press restart.
reveal Your stride, each and every part.
reboot the rhythm and set the pace.
side by side we’ll run this race
