Presence 7: Arts That Inspire Reflection & PrayerÖrnek
Moving
My faith feels so fragile
A couple of hits and I'm broken
Held together with what seems like shreds of chords I thought were strong
Only threads it appears.
Where is my victory cry
When I just want to cry
Where is my go get em
When I want to give in
And I want to be strong
I want to stand the tests and trials
Pass with flying colours
But this grey is grounding me
When the rubber hits the road
Left wanting with what faith I see or don't see
I hoped for unmoveable unshakable reactions
With overcoming intentions
Victory till the death
Head on till the battles won
But I would run
In the opposite direction
To places of comfort that I had once lived in
now abandoned
And now No longer a place I wanted to be in.
So where am I now
In the landscape of battle
When I can't go back and moving forward a struggle
not the glorious charge I thought I would have
But a painfully slow progression
Every step
Reminding of injury, pain I feel
My inability to move freely, gallantly
my victory looking more like a baby step
Rather than a giant leap of faith
But to stop moving would be death to me
And I'd rather live taking ground little by little
Rather than end up being buried in the ground.
So my faith appears different to what I thought I would see.
It looks more like tears
And my charge more like a shuffle
But you said faith as small as a mustard seed could move trees into the seas
impossibilities becoming possible
My fragile faith more powerful than I know
Enough to make it through the struggle
Endurance a chance to grow
So come on my soul
You can't stay here move through
Move on
Know that every step is a weapon
Every get up is a victory cry
Progress is the journey so we can move from here through whatever comes our way.
Just Keep moving
