If I am your refuge
then you can take down your walls
If I am your defender
then you can put away your sword
If I am your help
then you can put back your tools –
Why do you call me your God
and yet surround yourself with walls and
weapons and things in which you trust?
Why do you shout out loud that I will rescue
and yet tremble that I won’t?

Standing up for what is right
can be one of the hardest things to do,
except for sitting down and letting injustice prevail;
to live with yourself, that can be harder

All the ways we justify detouring from our path!
All the ways we could grow strong in following, yet don’t

Praise, yes, praise
and stay anchored to the anchor
or you’ll be swept away

Long and languid sleep, undefiled by worry –
now is the time to sink in deep:
everything’s fine
everything’s fine

Beg to know the dreams of God
beg to be emptied of your own

I know you’re scared, so come to me
take off your armor, disrobe into vulnerability;
feel my protection, celestial and free
I know you’re scared, so come to me
