When Saviors Sleep

Strength dwells unmeasured, A symphony's hibernation, A clandestine god of the will. Awakened out of silenced slumber to humanities deepest breath. As the baton rises, commanding a crescendo for such a time as this... IN CHAOS --- Pandemonium impales upon former unwavering tenor With demands to become impenetrable stone An immovable anchor An army though alone A force to be reckoned with Inner strength When saviors sleep And the earth disappears from beneath your feet Inner strength like a dormant courage blooms mid-spring Though snow still covers shaking knees Fragrant currents rise like the meeting of a need. Strength breathes and it believes It looks behind and it learns It's disguised like fire burning bright behind eyes A tool of love you'll wield for life True strength is meek To know you own it is not vain Strength is born out of the bearing of substantial pain When sorrows song sings Be strong, be strong! And at the end of the road the last verse reads... Though I'm washed by my tears, life is more than simply holding on, It's truly loving till your final breath is gone. Strength is understanding... NO ONE CAN DO IT ALONE

This impassioned write has left me stunned, both for its content and the imponderably excellent manner in which you have expressed. How can I comment about something upon which I cannot fully bring my senses to bear. Suffice to say, I'm impressed.

A men John. "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. Thank you for you precious comment friend.
