Sing

Why doesn't my heart sing?
Fly with the birds as they
freely, carelessly
flutter against the sky
making music with the wind.
Why do we run away in the times we need You most,
turn our hearts cold when You long to speak to us?
Doubt your words
the words you're longing for us to sip
When our lips are dried out, cracked
thirsting
for your water as they fall apart
like sand
like dust.
We can't depend on ourselves
we destroy
we kill
we take
we sin.
Lord, why don't these hearts burn?
Burn for You
hear your cry,
"come back to me
give me your hand
let me take you over
wrap you in my arms
in my warmth
dip your feet in my waters as you
feel me wash over you, as I
lay you down
whisper
perfection… hear me
perfection I know
I know.
Where you're laying,
do you see my beautiful candles?
The candles I've lit for you?
Look how the flames dance for you.
Can you smell the sweet scent they make for you?
Can you feel the warmth embracing you?
Perfection follow me
I'll lift you up when you fall
I'll make you strong.
Perfection look up.
See the mountains?
How they rise with the mist.
How I've painted over them
colors only your eyes can capture.
You
You were made for this
You
You're greater than this
Perfection
Know I love you
Know this peace
Know the feeling as you float in it
weightless.
Don't stop seeking it
seeking me
this is what makes your heart sing."
