You Raise Me Up

You Raise Me Up

look inside much deeper then before,
 pull out the old crusty, weathered & battered soul
 filled with emotion hence the opened door
 A willingness by which to humbly explore

 You have taken me from dust from the speck on the sun
 A bridge of hope to become a beacon of light to a hurting world,
 Shelter lies dormant against its beckoning plow
 how you fought so hard and fierce,

 My one truest love is now gone from here
 Out of a mere paradox with angelic hosts to proclaim
 You sought me when I was at the bottom of my game
 hands, heart & soul

 Meekness is not equated as weakness
 You bridged the gap between mediocrity & shame
 Tossed in turned my frustrations of the day
 In a climatic moment being pressed with tears

 Shed a single tear to help numb the inner pain
 not having you in my arms is driving me insane
 You walked on water toward your claim to fame
 pools of torments feeling being whisked away

 A sparkling array of blissful care
 Speaks to the longing I seek to recapture from above.
