A Step of Two

Comfort me in my waste places Lord 

Please

I want to honour you both 

Especially you

That I may experience more of Him 

And His favour 

In my days to come 

That I may know how to do it differently 

When my time comes 

That I may only learn from you 

And pass on the lessons that you taught me 

A little differently, I hope 

That I may remember 

Whose image you bear 

I want to understand you 

I want to understand each side 

And I don’t want to drown the noise 

With the voice of a song anymore

I want to sit with myself in my hurt 

And my confusion 

I have questions that don’t need their answers 

I have questions that need Your comfort 

I plead for understanding 

I seek reconciliation 

That you and I may for once 

Know what it feels like

Is it selfish that I want to witness

That I want to sense  

You cherish each other 

When I’m around 

Is it selfish that I choose to forget 

Your freedom to feel 

But this is what I can’t wrap my mind around 

You’re good to me still

But what about each other?

Aren’t we all more alike than we are different

At a single point in time?

Or so I’ve been told 

Are we not the same as you 

In need of forgiveness 

In need of love 

We know too well that our lives 

Were bought by blood 

Why don’t we see each other 

The way He sees us 

Why don't I see you 

The way He sees you

Why do you hurt me 

With a hurt as deep as your love 

For me?

For me
