Sometimes

Sometimes
When I’m quiet and still
When I lean into God’s will
I feel the touch that calms my soul
That soothes my mind
That cradles my body
And steals the chill from my circumstances.

Sometimes
When I sing and shout
When I clap my hands and cry
I feel the impact of God’s smile
I hear his laughter flooding my soul
I hear his music echoing in my mind
Entering my feet and moving my body to dance as God designs
As I declare victory over all my battles.

Sometimes
When I’m broken and desperate
When I’m alone, scared and crying out
I pray and I hear no answer
I cry and I receive no relief
And the hope I cling to in you is a hope I can’t seem to find
Yet this absence is deceiving
Your love is eternal and monumental
You never leave my side.

So Sometimes
When I’m quiet and still
Sometimes
When I sing and shout
Sometimes when I’m broken and desperate
I remember your faithfulness and I embrace your love for me
You are worthy of my praise, my Lord, the Rock of my Salvation
