Wow...

So, it's been a LOOOOOOOONG time since I touched this blog, the dust is so thick I sneezed twice trying to make this post...

If anyone's still out there...here's a new one for you..


Too Much

Standing in your shadow, thinking of the injustice of it all,
I’m complaining through my prayers at an order just so tall,
Your voice whispers to my heart just what I should do,
Yet I struggle and resist like I’m a child of two,


 I didn’t send my son to death on a tree
And I don’t hold in my hands all eternity
yet still I think – God you ask too much of me

 
When letting go of our desires becomes the cost of chasing you
When life round here gets crazy and there’s so much yet to do
And there’s so many clouds around that the sun cannot break through
I struggle and I cry,


I didn’t send my son to death on a tree
And I don’t hold in my hands all eternity
yet still I think – God you ask too much of me


When the world comes crashing against what we know is true
The fight comes right to us and the things we value
When we’re so lost that we don’t know what to do
We can feel your push, the words you’d want to say…

 I didn’t send my son to death on a tree
And I don’t hold in my hands all eternity
yet still I think – God you ask too much of me

When you ask me to act in a world filled with pain and tragedy
To stand in the face of lies and duplicity
When the right thing to do grabs my heart like a vice
And I can’t avoid the fact that it won’t feel very nice
When God grabs on and just keep squeezing


I didn’t send my son to death on a tree
And I don’t hold in my hands all eternity
yet still I think – God you ask too much of me

When I can see where I’ve gone wrong,
But I’m hesitant to change,
I’m asking you now…and I know

It’s never too much, never too much, never too much for you.

I didn't realize it had been 3 years! I will say, it was worth the wait. I love your insight. It's all about perspective.
