Thus Shall My Soul Boast
My soul shall boast in the Lord from whom all Love flows
My tongue shall sing aloud for the goodness that shows
I will take that long way home when it comes to spending time with Him
There is this reason for the season and why I have this silly grin
I have an inside tip that when I am losing I am really in the Wind
I use to think I was a Romeo playing a part in a stage show
Now I see the truth that from my youth I always had a rough row to hoe
And those thorns of lonely-never-mind were my best teachers I could have ever known
There was this gem that I had to find under the bleachers of another’s stage home
This song I have tried to sing for so long to get the notes down before I go home
With my only hope being a candle in the storm of infidelity can I handle this sanity
I lay my head back down and I lift my hands and gently drift off into the melody of
angelic bands
Seeing all I ever have been superseded by the King that convinced me that I am all He ever
needed
There are different ways of knowing that there are promises that are more than ropes of sand
I only know this one song that tells us only why not how fast, how far, how long…
So in this melody I am pumping my fist to the bliss of a recovered first kiss
Everything stops moving and all my windows become doors and all my thoughts scream more
and more
Learning in darkness this tune that I sing and spark this ever after no matter the flatter
or disaster
The last thing I saw anything would do to bring happiness of Pure Being into view and hold
it as True!!
