Grace Breaks Through

For some reason, around this time, I always look at the clock, and think, why the heck aren't I in bed?!? So then I decide to blog about it. Wise decision, I know.

For some crazy reason, God decided to make it so that you cannot avoid your problems. Can you try, certainly, but avoiding things to see if they get better while you're not present never works. You always have to come back to it, and generally, it's not any better when you do. However, I feel pretty persistent and will probably continue to try. I believe the definition of idiocy is doing the same action over and over again, and expecting different results. I'M AN IDIOT!!! YAY!!!!

However, it's also nearly impossible to leave a song unfinished, and finally, today, I have sweat out a third verse to "Hallelujah." That means I have the second and third verse done. Still need a first. The first verse is supposed to be happy and light though, two things that are rare occurrences for me lately. Well at least they come too small of doses for me to be able to write a song about. So we'll have to keep waiting til God puts me in a place where I can write that verse, and until then, Hallelujah will be unfinished. I think I'll post what I have so far though.

Verse 2:
My heart's in a million places in a million pieces
From seeing the dark and the hate and the pain
That never ceases, no it never ceases
It's easy to see the good and believe that you are too
But believing in the dark is harder than I ever knew
I never knew
The hating, the killing, the void that's not filling
It's getting hard to breathe
I'm broken, I'm weeping, I'm washing Your feet
Oh Lord, with this heavy heart I bring

Chorus 2:
My hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
My broken hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Verse 3:
Depravity's deep in my skin, in my bones
And my soul is just aching, can you hear its groans?
The whole earth groans
But just as we're accepting that there's nothing more than night
Grace steps in and shines redemptive light
Thank God, there's light
The darkest of darkness, the hardest of hearts
Your grace breaks through

(I need one more line for that verse... then)

Chorus 3:
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
My redemptive* hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

*subject to change
(During that whole part there's also
There is redemption
There is redemption
There is redemption


Still workin on it....
