Season For God

Thank You, Oh King, 
for holding us 
in Your heart 
and Your ways, 
even when we can 
barely hold ourselves; 

Maybe especially then, 
when it's hard to feel, 
but one moment 
of considering reveals 

we would fail to even exist 
without You. 

This every breath is Yours. 
This leaden weight is Yours. 

This struggle and pain, 
and every beautiful song, 
every success 
and every failure 
is Yours. 

None can carry 
life itself 
but You.
