Abstract poetry coming your way for this weeks Song for Sunday.
(Note: In case you’re wondering why on earth I do this, it’s actually more for me than anything. By posting a song on here once a week it challenges me to think more while I sing, especially in church. Therefore, by having this feature I have ended up being more blessed by the words to songs, especially hymns.)
Dry as dust, thirsting to be thirsty
Unreachable oasis found
Chasm stretched, edge is reached
Backward barren, forward fallen
Toe on edge, take the step?
Oasis waiting, bottomless pit
Helpless, Hopeless
Lights flashing, sword clashing
Wings outstretched bring to flight
Fear of dropping, thought of falling
Hold lessened, still suspended
Oasis reached, thirst for thirst wetted
Lucious green, spring springing
Helped, Hopeful
Lifted, filled, healed, satisfied and perfect
View the beauty and the matchless splendor
Stand in awe, jaw dropped down
This is our God, this is our God, this is our God.
