Face forward - even if not moving forward

Another forgotten selection from my "Writings" folder..

Goin’ ‘round and ‘round
Caged and yet uncaged
Can’t seem to sit still long enough to hear

It’s not by works
Not by brains
That I’m needing to bend Your ear

The words of Ginny’s song(1)
Keep cutting my emotions
It all seems purely fear

Yet each new day arises
Stopping not for me
A kind of hope down here?

And what if my dreams
Fall apart at Your feet
That You rightfully claim vict’ry?

Then what can I do?
Where do I go?
Just let me know You’re near

I’m breakin’ down
So there’s no pride
It’s takin’ how many years?

What’s that like:
A heart wholly broken
So only praise to You is clear?

You quiet me
As I write this
Bring my soul oh, so near..

Ready to listen
