so much pain bound up in this body
I need to release it
set this spirit free
surround me with who You are
tell me who I am, remind me
I need to know
tell me how precious I am to You.
my shoulders curve around an empty cup
a caving chest
fill me.
this is for you, sitting in the dark
sing out the tension
scream it out
let your bones bend until they feel
they might break
scream it out
call on the name of your God
scream his name
claim his help
scream, let it rip through your center until you
unravel
let the darkness disintegrate in the air
let him in
let him protect you
let him be your warrior, fight for you
so you don’t have to
it’s already won
he’s already gone out
it’s already done.
he goes where you go
he’s bringing a new thing
you will see his goodness in the land of the living.
he calls your name
he calls your name
all the love in the world in your name
he’ll never drop you when you’re leaning
when you’re wondering if he’s there.
hush, quiet, listen here–
he loves you he loves you he
loves you.
