a reason to sing

five oclock bells..the work day done again. but it's now time for my heart to come undone.
 frustration ensues once again, lurking unwilling in the unknown.

"can i call you real quick?" the dear friend texts.
i dial.
"how are you?"
those three words unleash it all,
the tears start rolling within a few seconds of the call.
"i just don't understand." all i can say.
she listens. she knows. she prays.
trusting, even when we can't.
"thank you, for everything."
"love you, bye."

a few minutes later. she sends me this song, tells me to turn it up loud. repeat on, i'm soaking in it all night long.



"when i'm overcome by fear and hate everything i know, if this waiting lasts forever, i'm afraid i might let go."

and my heart is strengthened. the storm still rages, He has not calmed. but His child no longer raging, a song He used to soothe. and that is a reason to sing.
