Casting Stones

The day seem to pass
With aged memories of once was
Living for the hope of tomorrow
Maintaining the faith of the day

If things where to change today would I know you
Would there be steps of unknowing
Steps lamped by destiny, a future of hope

Why does curiosity make us look back
Pillared, unable to move?
I long to move forward with you
I am guilty of the charges
But I now reside in forgiveness and grace

I can’t ask you to take my burdens
They are not yours to carry
How would you receive me?

Would it be the forefront of what is seen?
Would it include the unseen scars and emotions?
What do you see when you look at me
How much are you willing to know?
How much are you willing to let go?

Moving forward not accepting but not regretting
It can not be changed, distant memories
Only one thing has changed me
Its in the everlasting judgment of I’m forgiven

I carry the cross for it daily, sometimes burdensome
The fact It’s been lightened by the one who’s carried the ultimate price
Do you believe, not that I plead, for in my heart I want to believe
It’s been done, finished, settled no turning back

My Heart Deceives Me

My Heart deceives me

Is it my heart in line with your peace

Or unrest in my emotions

Burdened by a captive fear

Is faith in not knowing, full dependency

Are visions skewed with a perception of hopelessness

I want to be complete and free

Trusting you as we walk in the coolness of the day

If perfect love cast out all fears

I plead release for all

So that you may dwell here

Perfected only by your love

Infected only by your spirit
