With blind hate, they jeered at His offering.
In their rage, they plotted His demise.
Theirs was not an unknown crime.
With the knowledge of His majesty,
They still desired to destroy.

In His love, He brought them back to life.

Regrets

Standing in the eye of a hurricane, it is calm.
But there is chaos just beyond my reach.
I close my eyes and pray it will disappear,
And I will forget the terror.
Will I ever forget?
...let me forget.

Jail

I felt my whole life was confined to a dark, cinder block prison.
I was afraid to even think about the future.
Every mention of plans made me panic, and I couldn't find peace.
So, I prayed for something to come along and help me.
Then you called, and since then, I have begun to pick the lock in my jail cell door,
And I am smiling too, cuz it's a lot easier than I first expected.

I've come to the decision that love only exists where dreams are found.
Love is the stars!
Just out of reach, yet close enough to see;
Always out of my grasp!
I've almost caught a falling star,
but it disappeared when it was close enough to breath into my veins...
and when I sigh, it blows away like a seeding dandelion.

Webster's Dictionary

It's amazing how love changes in a split second.
It can crash down around you,
It can lift you higher than the stars.
Love can mean a million different things, to a million different people.
It is the most important word to everyone alive.
I can hardly fathom that one word can mean so much to all who exist.
Yet also be the least uttered.
