For all creation to sing Holy

Your voice pulls me out of slumber
The sun shining through the rain
Today you smiled at me, and I smiled back
And all the morning sang
Holy, Holy, Holy! Is the God on high

I felt my heart being pulled asunder
I felt my heart being pulled down
And I remembered your smile
And I remembered their song
Holy, Holy, Holy! Is your God on high

Higher then the heavens
Higher into your presence
Was my heart lifted
lifted to your glory, there to sing with the angels
Holy, Holy, Holy! Is our God on high

Frantic I was looking, so I closed my eyes
Then my eyes were filled with you
humble peace from you overwhelmed my heart
And then my heart cried
Holy, Holy, Holy! Is my God on High!


This song was inspired by Sufjan Stevens song He Woke Me Up Again

The Undying Love

I sit and listen to your cries as you long to break free
We both wish to be free
you from your cage, and me from my heart
The moaning cry echos through the cold empty room
empty as my heart is, which was once filled with you
The dragging, puttering thumps mimics my own heart
Once all was alive for you, now all is dead and rotting
My love for you is as your mangled flesh
hanging on to a lifeless form
I keep you free in the cage, yet trapped
by trapping you, I have trapped myself
For if the sever your head, they sever my heart
In cage I have confined you,
and in a cage you have my heart
Long will you live, alive with my love
and when it dies,
so will you


Just so you know this was a challenge topic from a friend, not something I was actually thinking about and wanting to write about :)
