Beyond Your Abyss
I jumped through hoops
Landing in your abyss
I heard the snap crackle pop of my inner ear
My ossicular chain breaking in three
As I relinquished the best of me
You stood above me
In silent laughter
Tossing your dagger
Thinking you made your point
Yet I was not struck with all your force
I had fallen almost beyond your reach
Deafened, I could no longer listen to you preach
I was afraid you might follow
Thankfully, you held tightly to your golden rings
Stood proudly on your soap box
Thinking detergent would make you clean
The soap of ego only compounded you sin
Layers of huberous concealing human skin
I wished to forget you
My Houdini like task
Instead there were questions I needed to ask
Wanting desperately to see beyond your mask
Would it heal me if you answered them all
Brick by brick dismantle your wall
So that binding restraints could begin to fall
Is there a place beyond the abyss
For so long I have longed for this
Sadly some wishes don't come true
Questions asked, could not be answered by you
I don't know how I'm supposed to feel
You're the bent spoke in my life's wheel
Bending my mind as it goes around
A broken ear can hear no sound
I needed to look in a different place
The healing came from another's Grace
I looked upon my Savior's face
Now these ears hear a symphony
Inner music now flows from me
I learned who I was born to be
Not a slave constrained, I can hear and see
It was preordained I was destined to be free
I found consecration on bended knee
