Deeply In The Details

The one who made you who you are

Breathed life into your soul

He who knows you perfectly

And loves you completely whole

He who knows your heartache

He who catches tears

He who whispers in the silence

And takes away your fears

The one who watches fervently

Whose tender mercies are known

Only He can measure your heart

And witness how much you’ve grown

He is deeply in the details

His love runs anchor deep

He knows your every burden

And the sorrows that you keep

He who loves you raw and broken

Makes the heavens scream and cry

He whose voice the dust obeys

The one on whom you rely

The one who made your heart

Can pull it till it bleeds

And then He compensates

By planting healing seeds

He who asks for nothing less

Then all you have and more

If you will but give Him your will

Great treasures He has in store

Radiant Firehawk

Anasazi Shadow

IF

If you can stand on the precipice

Understanding the course of your choice

Then take a step in the darkness

Without every hearing His voice

If you can listen without being heard

And measure the words you speak

If you can learn to pay the price

And make charity what you seek

If you can give another your heart

And not expect theirs in return

If you can sense the grace in silence

And apply the things you learn

If you can dance with those of royalty

Yet dine with those from dust

If you can seek the good in others

And liberally give your trust

If you can look into the mirror

And love the person that you see

If you can hear the sound of music

In every rock and stream and tree

If you can learn to be forgiving

And give freely of yourself

Understand life’s greatest treasures

Don’t lie in any wealth

If you can give everything you have

Then give a little more

That’s when God will give His mercy

And great blessings lie in store

If you can give the Lord your will

And know that His ways are higher

He will help you bear your burdens

And guide your righteous desire
