What Are You Waiting For?

But seriously.

What exactly are you waiting for. There's life on the other side. But the grass is always greener where you stand.

Our slow suicide is killing me
To hear you once again
Living in death
When life is calling on the other side

"The other side, the other side!"
Screams the unhappy man
Is just too far away
It's far away to stand

Stand in all your stubbornness
Rooted in your ground
The very ground that's suffocating
And dragging your life down

All your hopes and all your empty fears
The wild earth in distant past
Was one you choose to bear
And bear it well you uncomfortably did

To see the light of day
It never was the Father's Love
Now pulling you away
Deep within the earth you cry
"Why do I feel I die"

We always know when we are dying
We always know when we are sighing
We always look to the other side
And forget to step

Because today is beautiful in it's own way
And tomorrow's moves us far away
From moving...
But Hope again tomorrow
Will always be the same
Until we chose to let go
And hang on
To His hand

It's not your strength
You must let go
It's not what you've done
Or even do
You must let go
That way is death
"Why do I die?"
That way is death
Connect
And let go
And hang on

Because liberty has worth
In and of itself
What is produced by it
Is not
What makes it worth an ounce
Of whatever man declares an ounce
Of anything is worth
Let go, Let GO
Uproot your stance
And hang on to Grace's Hand

"Stand firm therefore, in the Liberty in which Christ has made us free and do not be enchained again to a yoke of slavery."

I've found that sometimes we depend so much on our understanding that it's hard to just read something like that. It's hard to read and not understand up in the brain. And for those that refuse to feel and refuse to let their heart live (the heart where God lives ... the heart that's purified through Christ), it's impossible to get through. But if you just would read it again, this time without thinking. This time without trying to understand, you'd have a better understanding. You'd probably just know. Ya know?

Knowing God is a little like that. Sometimes we don't understand, but we trust from our heart and that's enough to know Him. And over time the understanding comes but not independent of trust. There's value in that.
