Poetic Last Days, January

I deeply apologize that "Poetic Last Days" was skipped in the month of December, and that January's is a day late.

I have to admit, this has a melody to it (aka, it's more song lyrics than a poem), but since you are not able to hear the music, I hope the reading of it will still convey some of the feeling behind the idea. Happy February everyone!


Undone
And yet
More than ever
Alive

Broken
But finding
New life
Arising

Lost
And alone
Unsure where
To go

Lifting
Hands
Waiting for
Something

Someone
To stand
And hold
Me

Ready
To take
The leap
Unafraid

Stir up in us
Lord the fire
To blaze when all is dark

Stir up in us
Lord the joy
To sing when we are lost

Stir up in us
Lord the hope
To never be afraid

Stir up in us
Lord the faith
And we shall be saved

By your hands
By your mercy
By your grace
By your love
Falling in this place
Filling up this place
Moving in this place
Taking all the space
With you

Ready
For new
Trials
Coming

No doubt
Climbs
Uphill
Are coming

Strengthen
Drooping hands
And weak
Knees

Shake off
Bonds
Of lies
And sin

Break down
Walls
Deep
Within

Open doors
Let in
Light
Anew

Flood within us Lord
Your mercy
Take us up into
Your glory
We'll carry the world
With us
Into your peace

Stir up in us
Lord the fire
To blaze when all is dark

Stir up in us
Lord the joy
To sing when we are lost

Stir up in us
Lord the hope
To never be afraid

Stir up in us
Lord the faith
And we shall be saved

By your hands
By your mercy
By your grace
By your love
Falling in this place
Filling up this place
Moving in this place
Taking all the space
With you

What else
Can we owe
Than life
Unhindered

Given over
Unto
Your
Wonder

Surrendered
And free
We
Come
Unto Thee
