... reaching for the Son

I use to believe in a God who smiled occasionally, when I did something that made Him happy. Now I know a God who beams over me day and night, every second of my existence.

Once I Knew

Ever been stripped of everything? Really everything? I have been and this is where I find my self today...in a safe place.


ONCE I KNEW
Once upon a time I was smart.
I knew what I knew.
I knew where I was going and where I was not.
I knew oh so much about life, right and wrong.

Once upon a time I was far along the road of knowledge.
I knew oh so much.
I knew my theology, knew my thoughts
I knew my world, what was and what was not.

Once upon a time I knew where I was going.
I knew what I was doing.
I knew who I was and who I was not.
I knew all I needed to know and where I needed to go.

Now?
Now I don’t know,
I don’t know where I’m going
I don’t know much about life, right or wrong.
My theology fell apart, what was is now not.
What I knew I now know not.

But I know Love and I know Grace
I’m undone and eternally safe
I’m free to live free to be
Free to fail and free to succeed.
I’m undone, but now I know love and now I love grace.

When I knew, I was bond
When I was sure, I was wrong
I’m free now being undone in love
I’m secure now being engulfed in grace.
