I KNOW TOO MUCH

Body folded to fit in a sofa

Trying to squeeze out the pain

Not sure of how it got this far

And not sure of how much more there is to bare

The remedies have been heard of

Ways to heal a broken heart one recalls

Burry yourself in work or drink yourself out in a bar

Cry it out in a month or sing it out from a far

Does it really help or does it just hide a hardening scar

Despite all these, there’s a part that knows something else for a fact

Something that is not normal to the world, but life to a heart

It knows of one who does not hide a tear but wipes it instead

It knows of one who does not cover a wound but heals it perfectly

It knows that life is not just a one day at a time, but a piece of art

Crafted by the one great potter

It knows of a whisper of love in every breath taken in

And sure presence before a page to Him

It knows He promised He will never leave

And that nothing just happens but all things work out

For they all work together for the good 

It may be a night with no light… not even the crescent moon

But a morning is right ahead… Just after this comes a dawn

All this it knows and it wants to hold on to

The pain is loud but it knows better…

The disappointment is deafening but the love is greater

Emotions are confused but His devotion is too true

And in this shaken point, it reaches out honestly…

“It’s not easy to rise from this but I know You got me

My heart feels like it is distorted but I know you’ll rebuild me

I feel like I’m dying but you order dry bones to come alive

My circumstances scream impossible but your promises breathe ability

I may be weak but I know too much

I know of your joy as my strength and You as the lifter of my head

So these much as I know, make them the truth that I live

I don’t want to just know

I want more as it to be

Then all I know will be all I am

And all Your glow will be all they see”
