stories

leave me here awhile;; on this riverside
remind me of days gone by,
of the day I first left my burdens here

I heard of Your glory
in a story.

flagrant;; i gave caution to the wind
let go of my own world,
how I would build it,
and took hold of Yours

(it is by grace that we have been saved)

then came the winter.
all hope;; buried, frozen in the snow, in the never ending cold, never to see the sunrise again.

(it is by grace that we have been saved)

until one day, mercies anew;;
i awoke to the sounds of spring

never would I have
believed it
until, in my heart, I knew.
i knew it in my heart.

(it is by grace that we have been saved)

stories, unraveling stories;; life. Life is all about stories

this is mine:

(it is by grace that we have been saved)
