In the wake of the storm
A stillness unsettling
We dwell here
Searching for your peace
Pieces of our brokenness collected
Bringing them to our father
With tears streaming
Not realizing your joy at these gifts
You delight in your children
Yet we hide, ashamed
Believing we are naked in the garden
Not realizing you have already seen
We are not disappointments
Works in progress
You smile upon us
At every step
Every time we stumble
You are there to catch us
Not disappointments
As we chase you
Striving, ever striving
Not accepting rest
Afraid to settle
Your voice says, “just be still”
Leaps and bounds are not expected
The journey is what we were made for
You fall in love with our story
As we tell your story
We battled the storm
And you were with us
Your hand upon us
Carrying us when we couldn’t go on
Now here, in the wake
There is a stillness, unsettling
We can dwell here
Finding your peace
