Remember, remember, remember.
After the blow I always turn to anger or numbness… my spirit can understand; the problem is always trying to quiet my heart,
and beat back the fire before my soul turns to ash.
It’s milder now, and still, I always ask why.
I keep on asking why after all this time.
I know it’s alright, but I cannot see how,
see…
I don’t want to see my sister go far, or spiral down, or the boys growing up with a family that always cries…
but I can’t help but believe we wouldn’t have to if He had answered by now.
If You had answered.
Please?
I’m truly confused;
Between what’s hope and hurt…
Whatever’s real or not…
Could someone make sense of it all, just this once? Because I want to hold on to hope, but things have reached a point of no return,
what’s wrong, what’s right?
and I fear I’m feeling numb.
I know I won’t drown, I know You won’t let me drown…
Remember, remember, remember.
I’d rather have You than every penny in the world, because had I every penny in the world but no You, I’d be empty…
but still my people’s losing many things, so how does this work?
I hate things You don’t want, I’m fighting to see every single one erased for good,
still, fighting sometimes isn’t enough.
Is there light ahead?
Only brokenness?
Hope deferred, until when?
Remember, remember, remember…
We need You,
Please, please, please.
Please come, even if You’re not coming holding what we were hoping for, because I’m sure if we see You, once again,
we’ll live.
It’s raining right now… rain has somewhat turned into our secret language, right?
Thank You for everything You’ve done.
And thank You for every no.
Lord, I have two sisters and my mom… a brother and two dear boys,
Could You hold their hearts so they know they’re not on their own?
Could You change their lives to full ones filled with Hope?
Please, please, please,
Let us remember You hear our words, and see You, holding our world.
We need You, tie us to Your joy.
