Mumerings of Assent

You started at the centre.
And it fell apart when we moved you to the outside of our lives.
We can't hold it together any longer.
Could we ever in the first place?

We enjoy music. But should it be a struggle to make it? To create it?
What's the reason anymore?
Why are we here?
What are we here for?

I'm not even trying to rhyme this. I'm just trying to say that we started out as a group when did we go our seperate ways? Somewhere between the chords and words the lines began to fade. And we fell apart. Because it's what we do. And do you want the truth? It's all because we forgot you. The fourth member. Our breath of inspiration. Our hope in this lonely world. We clung to you through the stages. Through the places we played. Through the music. When we thought we were going to lose it. When we found our feet again.
Will we ever rise? Out from the mire we've fallen in. Take one last look at the sky. It's all darkness from here on in.
Yet we can't forget the light. That shines at our footsteps each night. Every dark way, every lonely place, you're always waiting at the crossroads, there's always an escape from all this mess we seem to make.
God, we're lost. Lost on the paths that lead nowhere. And all we hear is the voices in our heads saying we got ourselves here. That it's all because we're not good enough. That everything is our fault. That you don't love us anymore. And they feed us lies on a silver platter but that dosn't matter because it all depends on who we listen to. And surprise surprise there's other voices than the lies. Your voice shines through the fog clouding my eyes. And I can see clearly now that it's fine. Lead me on the paths of righteousness, make my ways straight. Cos we can't do it without you. Never without you again.

Jordan, that is a song. That is a heart cry. That is what you're about, you singular and you plural and that's the only way it will work. In our brokenness we turn to the only one who holds it all together and He puts us back together. Bless you in your journeying and for the way your gift reaches hearts - mine included.
love you
