Job 9&10 and Resolution

so close that we can not escape

so far above that we can't stand

the reaching up that never ends

who can ever make reply

who can try to reason why

and who can ever make 

this separation end

there is no one who understands

there is no one to go between

we're reaching out

but falling short

this longing empty fills our lives

we need a man who knows of god

a god who comes to go between

a loving priest to make amends

before you Lord, oh who can stand?

the perfect man, a living way

to know the heights and dive the depths

to come full close and reach our hearts

to fully close our separation

and to end our condemnation

you have met the Lord's decrees

you have made our souls go free

still i can not make reply

you are Holy, Christ on high

now we stand before the throne

joined in you, completely home.

A song I wrote

Little Baby Lord
A Christmas Song

(I know i'm not the best singer and it's not the best song ever, but i wanted to share it)
:)

Lyrics-

Little baby in the cold
Body wrapped with swaddling clothes
Heaven in those strips of rags
the shepherds fall in wonder.
God revealed in flesh and bone
Plans to reconcile a world
To pay the debt we'd die to own
All drowning, going under

Little baby Lord
In your will we stand
Through the fate you bore
We're alive within.
Justifying death
On a cursed tree
Our new life began
On the day that you were born

Little baby lying there
All God's fullness in your eyes
Come to live to die alone
Forsaken by your Father
All our sin you'll take away
Condemnation fully swayed
We give our lives in praise to you
And worship full of wonder

epiphany

I've been struggling to understand what you mean when

you say you satisfy my every need

but lying here i understand a part

your joy is full enough to satisfy my heart

the love i want you freely give

if i'm not full i'm filling from an empty source

when all the bounty you have planned

is far beyond what i'm clutching in my hands

I want to fill my heart, but you

want to take it past that, you

want to give me a new heart

entirely which will be far beyond

the limits i've been thinking of

grace so full with you is found

grace to cover all my sins

let the healing streams about

make and keep me pure within

Inspired by my Art Class reading

we're all just drowning

in this river of time

victims of time's shutter speed

cutting up our fleeting lives

we want the speed of modernity

but also to stay in a moment forever

we long to know the future

but love to hold pieces of the past

it's our hunger for eternity

that keeps us where we are

we all want to hold a piece of forever

these folds in the fabric of time

tightrope

we're walking such a tightrope

in our quest for the design

we be falling off the catwalk

for the fortyseventh time

there's a contrast in exposure

that our eyes can not discern

but we know we're drawing closer

when the forms become a blur

we see the face we long to love

the further ranging lord

the justice where we can't pretend

to have what we deserve

but it lets us in the kingdom

where we doubt our spotless clothes

and we're digging up the rags beneath

to show what orphans are

if we fully grasped these concepts 

we'd probably be dead

but we're feeling out the pathway

to that shaky light ahead.

safety?

and even in the darkness, your love was shining still

just our tunnel vision blinded eyes were falling through our will

love we fall love we fall

through the love and through it all

into arms that never fail

though the tunnel's miles deep

at the end we fall asleep

why does breathing come so hard
i lie awake let down my guard
infinity can blow my mind
i think i'll let it one more time

cause I see the beauty in the golden hours
in the smooth wet glass where the waves recede
and the laugh i hear when your voice comes near
makes me close my eyes in my always quest for
infinity

satisfaction still my qualms
fill my longing (and) kill the dark
steal my breath in the final hour
my heart has known you once before

when i saw the beauty in the golden hours
in the smooth wet glass where the waves recede
and the laugh i heard when your voice came near
made me close my eyes in this always quest for
infinity
