I sat down and wrote this today as a small expression of the things I'm experiencing through training for the 100 mile foot race I'm doing in 2 weeks.
Among the Broken~
Alive in my death, I’m learning to stand – in my selfishness I’m becoming a man.
Its all about me, and the cry in my heart, I come first and this affects every part.
I can’t seem to go low enough, I can’t change what I am – separated by my selfishness
and the deep fear of man.
Its all about me, and the cry in my heart, I come first and this affects every part.
I can’t seem to go low enough, I can’t change what I am – separated by my selfishness
and the deep fear of man.
And so I will run and keep running – maybe find the end of the drive – which never
seems to give up, no matter how hard I try.
I find myself among the broken, the ‘live ins’ and the divorced – all running for similar reasons -
deep into the forest.
We find an outlet, and we get some relief – the drive deep inside of us,
eventually melts into peace.
I like to think I’m so different, but that’s not what I said – I’m really the same – like the thoughts in my head.
So I will keep running until I am spent, until deep in my heart, my cry has been met.
Facing my heart - letting the Son melt the ice, I find myself among the broken – and enjoying His life!
I'm recognizing how I've used religion to seperate me from my own problems - good morals and hard work can be great facades and I don't say that to de-value morals/hard work, I'm only recognizing what's in my heart and how I've abused good principles. Its been freeing/fun to recognize/admit to more or my problems - the truth does set us free - and it also allows us to be in the world - understand and identify with it - but not be 'of the world' get our life/fulfilment from it.
This song reflects the joy of recognizing my place (where it all starts) - and the cross as my foundation for Life.
