somewhere

somewhere in all of this, you see me.
somewhere in all of this, you love me
but my heart is torn
and i don't understand
why such brokenness is part of your plan.
it burns so deep
i feel desperate to run
but somewhere in all of this, i know you are not done.

your healing is coming.
it's coming now.
you promised me freedom
though i can't see the "how"
you remain faithful
and relentless with love
you call out my name
and whisper "look up"
your patient hands hold me
while mine beat your chest
and in the deep space of brokenness
you come with sweet rest
i know i can trust you
though my heart is afraid
but somewhere in all of this, i know you are safe.

and so i step forward
with trembling feet
hoping that in the depths
our faces will meet.
that you'll bring complete healing
to all of my wounds
restoring my soul
making all things new
i break off the lies
and all of the fear
and ask that your voice
be all that i hear.
i am desperate for freedom
restoration and life
and somewhere in all of this, i know they are mine.
