I Will Not Last

Strolling salvation lane...

Admiring houses built on love...

Lowering self-worth brick by brick...

Unsure how long I can last...

I hear the waves calling...

'Come to me, I am a firm foundation'....

I hear the wind crying...

'Follow me, I will be your everlasting shelter'...

Watching peace network...

Worshiping works built on trust...

Inflating anxiety show by show...

Uncertain how long I can last...

I hear the waves calling...

'Come to me, I will shine down on you'....

I hear the wind crying...

'Follow me, I will lighten the darkest days'...

Hearing grateful praises...

Singing songs written about grace...

Amplifying depression lyric by lyric...

Distrustful I can last...

I hear the waves calling...

'Come to me, I will harmonize your life'....

I hear the wind crying...

'Follow me, I will fill your silence'...

Arriving at beach of sin...

Encompassing grains of sorrow & self-doubt...

Filling lungs with curses & discourgement...

Fearful I will not last...

I hear the waves calling...

'Come to me, I will make you clean'....

I hear the wind crying...

'Follow me, I will silence your cynicism'...

Digging out the endless pit...

Following voices to the bank...

Allowing the tide to overtake...

Insecure I can last...

I hear the waves calling...

'Come to me, I will make you whole'....

I hear the wind crying...

'Follow me, I will set you free'...

Starting with the feet...

Raising higher and higher...

Washing away all the sand...

Maybe I will last...

I hear the waves calling...

'Come to me, you are my child'....

I hear the wind crying...

'Follow me, you are loved'...

Closing eyes as the waters reach...

Feeling weight fall away...

Diminishing evil grip finger by finger...

Assured I will last...

I hear the waves calling...

'Come to me, you have been set free'....

I hear the wind crying...

'Follow me, you have been found'...

Receding tide, uncovering eyes...

Revealing blissful lights...

Sighing in tranquility and gratitude...

I have last!
