Swollen
Swollen
Sometimes rivers in my heart
Rise and overflow
Beyond the banks that hold them fast
And into the unknown
Little streams of swollen pain
That create their own paths
Pushing past their boundaries
Desperate in their dance
Fluid liquid racing hard
Seeking to find rest
Tumbling downward, flowing wide
Reaching....relentless
Trying to contain the ache
Impossible I know
Can an ocean be corralled?
Or mountains be brought low?
Swollen water finds a way
As God makes the paths straight
Though the night is long and cold
And nothing stops the rain
I will seek to lift my eyes
To the hills above
Where the One who covers me
Somehow offers love
Even when I'm overwhelmed
And the flood is great
When it pulls me far away
I'll call on His great name
Comments
"Every song that I write comes from my own personal experience. i believe the role of an artist is to interpret reality through a system of beliefs and a long-term seeking of truth, in your own life and in the world at large." Dan Folgelberg
