(no subject)
just give me one thing- wat will it be?
if i could love just one thing
would it be my friends, myself or my family?
wat can i truely love-- just one thing
if only i knoew the way to wholly devote myself to this one thing, if only i never went astray from this one thing i call faith. if only i could stay where iam for just more than a day- and come away changed
broken in two by the ocean waves- im coming unglued
the ocean swells as the sorrow collects under my eyes
the tide goes out and all is calm
i place my hand, from my heart, into your hand
under open skies i come to realize- i need you
it was me who put him there
it was me who placed the crown upon his head
it was me who drew the holy blood
and it was me who drove deep the nails
it was me who cursed him and turned my away
it was me who lied when i said i'd never forsake
and it was me who left him there to die
cause of my self-centered sin, my very nature, with every breath not surrendered- i go against my creator. yet he loved me too much to see me die, so he died. there is no greater gift that could ever be given, no love greater than this.
who am i to go against a god that is so huge, i cannot even fathom?
who am i to rule my own life when by all rights i belong to Him?
why is it that at times of temptation, conflict or confusion that i so quickly forget this?i am but a man, small and insignificant in a universe vastly larger than myself. but among the masses- the billions of souls- i am known more than i know myself. at a loss..
