Jesus’s birthday shines so bright
caroling down the streets,
fights in the dark
sweetly attending wounds
midwinter dark, the darkest season of cold
a bright light for all
warmth in the darkness

The joy of obedience
not grudging resentful thing
the hunger grows
a hunger shows
the emptiness you feel.
The sacrifice you made
the Angels marvel at it
obedience to your word
a joy it will be fulfilled
to walk in your way
to follow your path
to do is you did
to do as you say
Obedience
to your word.
The things you place on my heart
no matter the timing
no matter the strange
no matter that I do not understand
I trust you know what you’re doing
I trust you have my best interests in mind,
I trust you
I trust you
I trust you
Christ receives me, catches the ball
I fall
tumbling end over end
I remind myself of this
it columns the fear
dear of disobedience
dear of large acts of faith
fear of joy
fear of change
fear of loss
I am in his hands. Faith early
Faith is wings unfurling
stepping off a cliff
waiting for the wind to catch you
His blood, it is alive
it makes me want to jive.
The joy of all
I answered the call
in Christ, I am to thrive
I seek the truth when ever I can,
wherever that may lead.
I have found him and he has a name:
CHRIST
I am victorious through him,
against this evils of the world. Through him I am strong
through him I am alive
through him I am free busted out of chains.
Through him I am free of condemnation,
the mire holds me no longer.
