My Loss || 2010.01.01

I asked God to teach me
and He took down my walls

I asked God to build me
and He tore away my foundations

I asked God what
and He said, "Follow me!"

He began to walk, humming
began to work clapping

began to move, dancing
and I looked with remorse

That's not building
You took all I had

But I watched still
first fascinated,
then stirred
and finally moving.

closer, to touch His hand
and it moved to His rhythm
enticing me to dance

I could not catch
but to move in time
to find myself dancing

If flames could envy they might
but their only place is worship
I: I dance with The King

He whispers to me,
"What was this you lost,
what were you living for?

"I am your rock forever solid
I am your shelter and your tower

"I who made you: my breath
breathed in your face breath of life

"You posses my soul"
And my ruins melted

and still though they clamored
my wars found peace

So I lost myself
I lost my world
And His Kingdom stands now before me
