One is all that one can see in the grey unknown
You may get to reach so far…
Pulls you back when instincts lead way beyond your head
Now and then a glimpse of life just beyond the yard
Knowing then you must believe…
All the traces in the air, but you might never know…
A fear of goD…
Its just your fear of goD…
There beyond what you could need and your grave concern
Oh, to know what this all means…
Means the warmth you must protect, never let evil in
What the feeling that you sense, tales you’ll never catch
Always chasing your whole life…
Fear that he might never see, and never bring you home…
All in a breath is the test of what faith can mean
Not that the rest do
Few of the wise recognize how the mountain leans
Not that they have to
That’s how it was in the dark, blind and needy to start
Yet you believe you can see what the others don’t
Not that they’ll want you
Eternal love and a smile from above when you turn to the call of my God
Always around you only he can allow you in the grace of the house of my God
Have you not heard of the word that you cannot speak
Now that you want to
All that they teach just to reach you so others feel they shouldn’t have to
Give you a smack that will hurt, that’s how it feels when you’re cursed
There will be days when the chase do give way to be less than you’d hoped to
Someone to need you and with wisdom to feed you when you lay at the feet of my God
He will command you and always understand you when you come to the voice of my God
Yes he can hurt you, yes its his universe until you break to the will of my God
To recognize you and with patience to guide you when you tug at the sleeve of my God…
You might search them endlessly, the forest for the trees
When you look up at the moon…
Feel all the loneliness burning your restraint…
Here beyond what you have seen, and the grey unknown
What’s out there you could retrieve…
Only hope to understand, but you might never know…
Your fear of goD…
