One Way

Richard Gere

I like this quote. I'm not sure why!...

"I know who I am. No one else knows who I am. If I was a giraffe, and someone said I was a snake, I'd think, no, actually I'm a giraffe."

- Richard Gere

Dirt

When

Sometimes it feels to me like God is so far away. Sometimes I wonder why he would even want to be near me. I look at the world, and I look at myself, and I don't see much hope. And sometimes it seems like it will be like this forever.

I wanted to try to express all this, and you can read some of it in my post "Where are you, God?" back in April this year. The blog to me didn't seem to quite capture it, so I tried to write a song about it, and this is what came out. Sorry if the lyrics are a bit depressing! It means a lot to me....

Why do I walk away?
Why do I fall?
Why do I stand and shake my fist at the air
Like you’re not there at all?

Why do I scream at you?
Why do you hear?
Why are these walls always higher than I think?
And do you still care?

When will you save us?
When will we sing hallelujahs again?
When will you break us
Til we see your face?
Your amazing grace
Again

When will you save us?
How much longer will it go?
Why does it feel like we’re here on our own
And that you’re somewhere gone?

Why can’t I hear you?
Where should I go?
I’ve heard rumours of the glorious land
But it’s sure not here

When will you save us?

God let the angels sing
God let the praises ring
With shouts of glory for eternity
God bring us peace within
God let the children sing
With shouts of glory for eternity

[For me, this last bit is a chorus of hope. One day....]
