point of view

I originally meant for this to be a song. The last paragraph would be the chorus. I'm not sure it would work though. Maybe I will one day but for now, it's a poem =D the night is not still feel the enemy moving eyes all around do they know they are losing? the city must not sleep or it will not wake here on the stone wall we watch for the day darkness is crawling a thick murky fog it mocks our belief some lose hope of the dawn their shrieks tear into the deafening silence hush! the earth echoes the music inside us and in the chill of the night a clear piercing voice our hearts leap with hope and the call to rejoice we strain our eyes we lift up our song the Morning Star! daylight comes

He bowed down the heavens rode on the wings of the wind His anger scorched the mountains and the plates of the earth trembled in fear Because He was angry. This is my Father's love. He heard my frightened call in the secret darkness He whispered comforted held healed He spoke they thought it was thunder He sent lightning-arrows after my oppressors they tucked their tails between their legs and RAN He reached His hand down into the waters He drew me up into the oxygen of His delight He is the flame in my little lamp the Sunrise, my morning He arms me with strength for the battle I can run against a troop leap the city wall bend a bronze bow the path may look impossible but in fact it is perfect my shield is unfailing. For who is God, except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?

Shall we stand in awe a little, together? Let us discuss our great need and feel, together, the great ache of humankind. Let us rejoice, together, in the miracle, the salvation which defies the laws of logic and understanding. And if a few tears escape let us urge each other to be unashamed of the joy. Let us point our fingers, let us redirect one another's attention to the goal. Catch my hand when I begin to wander from the shadow of the cross. Hold tight to pull me from the sloughs of despond and doubt. Let us stay close in the cold of this world to fan each other's flame. Let us build our friendship to last beyond time.
