CLOSE
i heard you've been
searching for peace
is it not found with
the company you keep
or does it all seem as empty
as the life that you lead
—
ive been a friend
to fools for so long
i've gotten so used
to suffering harm
throwing all my pearls to swine
thinking things would change with every try
--
i find that i am tired
most of the time
longing for more than what
passes me by
--
it's another day another night
more than i can take though i try to fight
i am beaten like the grains of sand
on the few shores i've had the privilege to stand
--
and i'm lost and as found as each one of them
tossed by the tides every foothold i've tried
i beg the ocean to just take me in
i find myself embraced like a warm summers night
on an empty beach
the fullness of Your being
far more than my mind can take
but my soul feels inflamed
—
and those stars aren't thrown across the sky
but each of them placed
and to think any less of ourselves
well that's a disgrace
we're all fearfully
and wonderfully made
home's not here
He's calling
He's coming
the appeal of this life will fade
