Explanations

I stand in rain
You stand in heaven

I kneel in pain
You sit and reign

I cry in brokenness
You cry that I’m broken

I lift my tears toward heaven
You reach down to wipe them

I pound my fist
You understand my humanness

I hear a Voice
You whispered a song

I see a tapestry
You have woven my life

I see the ruts and rocks
You point out its perfection

I gaze in wonder
You stand amused

I bow at the mercy seat
You lift up my face

I wonder what’s happening
You say “do not fear”

I turn my eyes
You still see the pain

I ask “why the pain, the breaking, the tears?”
You say “I am with you, child have no fear”

I question “I was angry, yet You called out my name”
You say “Because I love you, things won’t ever be the same”

I said “I saw the tapestry – my failures, my sins”
You say “I saw the beauty, the pristine perfection”

I say “I don’t understand – this glory and awe”
You say “you don’t need to – I am who I am”

I smiled and asked “why me, and why now?”
You laughed as You said “don’t you see?”

“My love never ends
My mercy never fails
My forgiveness is eternal”

“I created the earth,
 The wind,
Even you”

“For My glory and honor
I AM WHO I AM”
