it was for all of this

The chilled and violent rain touches my bare skin

The thunder shakes my bones to dust

The lightning threatens to tear the sky into two

And my world starts caving in

Everything from the innermost center to the crust

the waters start to rise,

I’m struggling to stand tall

“I don’t deserve this” I say

And for something to save me, I scream and I call

Yet my feet are being lifted

I take steps on water

I shake, I tremble, I cry

here is my rock, my Lord, my Father

the world is crashing in around me

people slip away from my fingertips, they fall

“what do I do, my God?” I ask and plead

But when it was all said and done,

“it was for all of this”, my Lord said, I stand in awe.
