if i were You my heart would be weathered and scarred
from incessantly being healed
and disappointment would stare at me all day
as i try to show and speak my love
to blind eyes and deaf ears
and the conversations with mute tongues
would leave me with a void inside
frustration, only the beginning
and despair would linger on
i don’t understand how You can stand it
i just don’t understand

and worship is more than a song i can sing
it’s the reason that You created me
but i failed and God, i’m sorry
forgive me, i’ve failed You again
for a moment i will lie in my ashes
and wonder why You would purge me of this
and i realize it’s who You are
and i revel in that love

    [...] Once while sitting on the beach, I was asked why God didn’t speak to him. I responded, “Maybe it’s not that God’s not talking to you, maybe it’s that you’re not listening.” Wondering if God exists and if God cares while experiencing the ocean, the sunset, the beach shouldn’t even be an issue. Nature should be proof enough (but then again we interpret data based on our bias). Just thinking about how frustrating it must be to be ignored and mistreated as much as God is just breaks my heart.  This concept inspired a song *ashes, pro tem.* [...]
