Dust on the Concrete

You are treasured, you are sacred, a peculiar person, chosen and redefined, a part of the great masterpiece, a task so critical, so essential, to be entrusted to you and only you, and you're so capable of handling it. It's all in you.

Hem me in and break me out

Let everything else that matters become insignificant

Tilt my head to your grace only

To do your will completely

So after everything is said and done

after I've been well conditioned

You bend me till I feel like I could break

and then I begin to find my spine

and start to rise to your beckoning.

Leaving the rest behind.

Leaving me behind.

I need to leave me behind.
