31 Days of 5 Minute Free Writes 29: "Sea"

 

Calvary is the Sea

Your broken form upon the cross,
Your holy love expressed
Stirs a passion in my soul,
Calling me to give my best.

No sacrifice I could give to You
Could match what You’ve given me.
For my everything is but a drop of dew
And Calvary is the sea.
Calvary is the sea.

If I could take the love I feel
And capture it with words,
More than what my heart could give
Is still much less than You deserve.

No sacrifice I could give to You
Could match what You’ve given me.
For my everything is but a drop of dew
And Calvary is the sea.
Calvary is the sea.

If I should ever doubt Your love
My only prayer would be
That You would keep Your rugged cross
Etched upon my memory.

No sacrifice I could give to You
Could match what You’ve given me.
For my everything is but a drop of dew
And Calvary is the sea.
Calvary is the sea.

 

GO!  

 

Ahh, the sea.  That great representation of the love, grace, and peace of God.  The waves calmly lapping at the shore.  The sound of the rushing water is like a heavenly lullaby.  The rocking motion is as if God has me in His arms rocking me and telling me it will be OK.  In light of present circumstances, I need two double handfuls of it.

We've had to write a lot about calm, silence, and hope in this challenge.  I don't know if God's trying to tell me something, or if it's the mommy bloggers wagging their collective finger saying, "You should need nothing.  We are the moms.  We are the martyrs in need of a respite.  We are the ones who should get peace, calm, and 'me' time.  Who are you?"

Either way, I know what I need and why I need it.  I'm going to get it whether anyone thinks I deserve it or not.

I need the peace. 

I need the grace.

I need the calm.

I need the sea.

STOP!
