Living Out of a Box
Living out of a box
Everything I ever knew from my existence has been challenged
Will I make the cut?
What about all the supplies I have saved?
Was it all in vain?
Will tomorrow be as He said it would be?
I must stretch out my hand of faith and hold fast to my anchor in Him
I am the only true Soldier in my household
I know what is around the bend
The rest think I am a bit over the top
With hurricanes and earthquakes along the way
Will they at least believe me when they see it for themselves?
I have been a good son
I have been a dedicated worker
But when it comes to my faith it is “extreme” they say
One day in the not-so-distant future they will see that I was right all along
I am a loyal son to my parents
And I am a loyal son to my Savior
I am still waiting on you Lord Jesus
I sit here all alone waiting for the desires of my heart to be fulfilled
Don’t leave me disappointed
I will be so completely devastated
Please tell me that all of these images and dreams are real
I have been waiting for 30 plus years on something new
I will continue to pray and lean on you
You are my Savior
You are my best friend too!
