Time of Great Need

In a time of great need, you hear "I'm here for you," and "Let me know if you ever need anything," among other phrases of the similar tone. These are kind and generous and willing people. Open-hearted, loving healers. What they might not realize is they most definitely are needed but we don't always know how to ask. And we most definitely don't have a clue what we need from them.

There's an issue here. We need them, but don't know how to let them know that. We know we need something, help maybe?  But don't know what that would look like and they might not even be able to give it. And obviously, since we never told them they're needed, they don't realize it.

Building

I understood myself
                         only after I destroyed myself.

And only in the process of fixing myself,

did I discover who
                         I really was.

You Are

You Are
All Words and Lyrics by Colton Dixon
From the album "The Messenger"


When I can't find the words 
To say how much it hurts 
You are the healing in my heart 
When all that I can see are broken memories 
You are the light that's in the dark 

You are the song, 
You are the song I'm singing
You are the air, 
You are the air I'm breathing 
You are the hope, 
You are the hope I needed
You are 

And when my circumstance leaves me with empty hands
You are the provider of my needs
When all my dirtiness has left me helpless
You are the rain that washes me

You are the song, 
You are the song I'm singing
You are the air, 
You are the air I'm breathing 
You are the hope, 
You are the hope I needed
You are 

If I had no voice, 
If I had no tongue, 
I would dance for you like the rising sun. 
And when that day comes and I see your face. 
I will shout your endless glorious praise. 

You are the song, 
You are the song I'm singing
You are the air, 
You are the air I'm breathing 
You are the hope, 
You are the hope I needed
