Southwest Wind

I am a leaf. You are a tree, rooted
to the hardened earth, ready for spring.
A miracle in every seed—your muted
whispers—fragile precious promise you bring
to the hardened earth, ready. For spring
is a sudden season, is tough love, loud
whispers, fragile, precious. I promise to bring
news of the sun, discover where the cloud
is. A sudden season of tough love, loud
and generous, delivers the journeyman
news of the sun discovered. Where the cloud
rests, I will rest. The southwest wind is a fan,
is generous; delivers the journeyman
from a burden too great to bear. Peace, I will
rest, I will rest in the southwest wind. A fan
may stir the frozen earth to flower still,
from a burden too great to bear: peace. I will
a miracle in every seed. You, muted,
stir the frozen earth to flower. Still
I’m a leaf, you are a tree. Rooted.

Have you heard the news?
Jesus, king of Jews, is no more.
I saw his body hung up upon that tree
Have you heard the news?
Where is our king?
It is done, all our fears, came to pass.
Tear your robes and swallow bitter tears
Come walk away, share in our mourning song.
*Why do you cry out for My name in vain?
I am your Saviour risen from the grave.
Come through the coldest night to stir your sleep.
My holy love is greater than these tears.
Have you heard the news?
Jesus, Son of Man, lives anew
I saw the open tomb in His flaming face
Have you heard the news?
Here is our king
It is done, all our sin, overcame.
Fall on your knees and give Him every praise.
Go, follow Him, share in His morning song.

You see me taking the same old way again
Falling down the lovely path of living in the bleeding
Every step is breaking me to pieces
Why did you turn my way?
Keep on giving second chances?
Ran away again today
Trying to fix the pain that grows with every leaving
Show me how I've used forgiveness as a reason
For my dry eyes to turn away
Spurning all my second chances
*My hope is made complete in you
This cross was never mine to keep holding on to
My brittle heart is mended anew
Stumbled back to where I came
Reeling from a love that knows no ending nor beginning
Took this weight from all my plans and dreams and visions
And arranged them another way
Living out my second chances

Perfect holiday
Careful plans, packing list
Leaving friends behind
Brightest summer clothes
Shaving kit, sturdy shoes
Long fishing rod
*Here is a passport to other lands
And a phrasebook for every tongue
So many things to see
So many things to see
Matches for the night
Polar star, pocket knife
One pouch of salt

To the Heavens

I am weary, O God,
But I can prevail.
And surely I'm a beast and not a man.
I have not learned wisdom,
I lack all understanding,
Nor have I any knowledge of the holy.
*Who has ascended to the heavens and come down?
Whose quiet hands have gathered up the roaring wind?
Wrapped up the sea in a cloak?
Don't deny my prayers,
Before I pass to death.
Remove me far from falsehood and lying.
Take my poverty from me!
Destroy my riches,
But leave me only what I need to live
*Who has ascended to the heavens and come down?
Whose quiet hands have gathered up the roaring wind?
Wrapped up the sea in a cloak?
**Who has established every limit of the earth?
Whose whispered name awakes the longing of my soul?
Surely, surely you know.
