DUST AND DIRT

GLORIOUS BEGINNINGS ALWAYS STARTING FROM DIRT
THE SIMPLE IMAGINING WHAT COULD BE
AND THEN MAKING A RUN FOR IT
LEAVING WHAT WEIGHS THEM DOWN LYING IN THE DUST

CLOSING OF THE EYES LAYING DOWN TO REST
LETTING GO OF ALL WE THINK WE KNOW
TAKING A BREAK FROM THE MANY BURDENS
THAT CHOKE OUT OUR HEART'S DESIRE TO GROW

GOING ON A TREASURE HUNT ONLY TO FIND
THAT WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR HAS BEEN THERE ALL ALONG
THE PICTURE, THE WORDS, THE SONG
THE FREEDOM TO BE FREE... TO BE THE REAL ME...

DUSTY DIRTY RUGGED GIRL DIGGING IN THE EARTH
TELLING OTHERS ENCOURAGING TIMELY WORDS
THAT CHANGE LIVES AND BRINGS LIFE AND HEAL HURTS
BUILDING UP THE WEAK AND REMINDING THEM OF THEIR TRUE WORTH.

FIGHTING FOR

Prayers of the Saints that have gone before
Were for you my friend - to be able to stop pretending..
However lonely, however tired, however sad, however lied too
There is hope in Heaven - a reason to live, a way out that's been made for you.

The One who knew you while you were in your mother's womb
The one who spoke life into your being and caused you to breath at first
He is the strength upholding you and calling out to you to come alive, to be true
Amidst the confusion, His hand is outstretched still, He chooses you still. He wants to heal you.

The fight is an endless one
Between both sides...for sure
The evidence is our weakness and the wreckage we feel
But the blood of Jesus speaks a better word and is more real than anything else...

Don't be afraid to call out for Help.
