More Than I Can Imagine

I see you sitting in front of me
Tears pouring out
Your heart on your sleeve
Some days, you say,
I just can’t make it through
And I smile and nod
And say, I believe in you

How much faith I have in you
So little in return for me
Too often I fail to see
The resemblance
Between You and what I do

I come to You
The Great Counselor
Pouring out my own heart
And hope You will come near to me
Feeling so alone
So lost and afraid
So little confidence in my own abilities

I don’t let You see
I don’t let You in
How could I be
Someone You could love
Someone in whom You believe

Yet You tell me
You are for me
Always have been, always will be
Cheering me on from the start
Loving me, believing in me
More than any person ever has
You long to fill up my heart

So fill my heart with the faith and assurance
So much more than what I feel for these
What You feel for me
Is more than I can imagine
More than I can ever dream

So I will stop crying out for more
Because You are more than enough
Let me see a glimpse of Your heart
As my own swells with love for others
Let it overflow with the love You have for me
Your love, Your faith, Your belief in me
Will never cease

Help me embrace this faith
Help me turn to You again and again
So easy to forget
So quick to turn away
How often I feel so much less than
Yet You lift me up again
Reminding me Your love has no limits
No conditions, no end

I know the darkest secrets I hide
No more or less than anyone else
Yet I can step out and see
The greatness in him
The possibilities in her
The loving heart no coldness could kill
The warrior underneath the wounds
Even in the face of anger and bitterness
My love and confidence in them, undeterred

What I know of love
Is only a glimmer of what You feel
A Perfect Father’s compassion and grace
Help me trust You
Help me take it on faith
Because I am so weak
So prone to believe the lies
I get so caught up in fear
The rules of this world
How much I lack, how little I truly deserve
But Your love covers me, comforts me and draws me close

And it is more than I can understand
More than I can ever imagine

So much more than I can imagine
Someday I will see
Someday I will know
And Your love for me will make me whole

Awesome

It’s hard to explain what I mean when I say that I don’t believe in “God” anymore, so I don’t really bring it up. Some people who love me, they get sad.

It seems that what they hear is loss and despair–fearfully, desperately I claw my way through the dark unknown. But it is more like: exhilaration and relief! With hope and joy I fly into a limitless blue sky; or, fall slowly and safely into a good and happy, never-ending, fully accepting awesome. Things are better than they have ever been. I am more brave than I was ever allowed to be. The only thing that I really grieve is how firmly the feet of old friends and family seem to be planted on the shore from which I am gladly sailing away. I tell them, “How wide and clear is the horizon! Anything is possible now.” And I fly a flag that means freedom.

It is alright with me that the people who understood me once no longer do so. I only wish that we could all dare to dream that everything we’ve ever wanted might actually be true.
