Waiting with Mumford and Moses
I anticipate
falling heavy
into your arms
I know you
will come home
without a harm
And I claim
the promise
that these days
Where I’ve knelt,
and suffered,
will blow away
Your mind finds
peace in the shade
of my attention
So surround me
with a love
of undying affection
After the curse
After the death
of separation
And we will kneel
and wait together
for the merciful occasion
With a love too deep
and words too small
I wait for you
Your player releases
the fallout After the Storm
begging you, on your knees,
to return. Run, my love,
run to this heart
and take a look to see
Our land, and what
we live for.
The times without tears
Are not on the
other side
of this mortal flesh
They are here
in these bodies
of men with chests
Do not limit God
or you will limit
His final plan
over the hill,
with grace in your heart,
and what you see there
Unkempt, death is my
companion and I
Lie here
But death
shall not be
the final victory!
And before you leave
You will see
the glory of God
Beloved, doubt not
He hath given thee
the rod
To judge the nations
and call forth
the wrath of Almighty God
You shall overthrow
the cities
grown on rotten sod
Of Babylon, and Egypt,
Of Sodom, and Tyre…
Ninevah shall fall
A burning bush
held a new Moses
in its thrall
And she was not
consumed
and he marveled at it
Shall you marvel?
You shall see
mightier signs than this!
Do not marvel
little man
but speak
and teach the words
of God.
You are the meek!
Do not give
to another
the task of meekness
When you
are meeker
than all the rest.
