TO MY ENEMY:
Skyfall is where we start
A thousand miles and poles apart
Where worlds collide and
days are dark
You may have my number,
you can take my name
But you’ll never have my heart
—-
personal experience:
the enemy, the darkness,
always came when
my world was crumbling and
I was falling apart –
the condemning words,
the judgements for failure,
the taking away of hope by repeating
what I already believed about myself anyway . . .
so it worked to push me deeper into the pit of despair!
—-
TO GOD:
Where you go, I go
What you see, I see
I know I’d never be me
Without the security
Of your loving arms
Keeping me from harm
Put your hand in my hand
And we’ll stand
—-
personal experience:
in the darkest pits, somehow the tiniest pinpoint of light would try to pull me back from the edge (I could not see it then, but I can look back and see it was there) – slowly, agonizing moments would overwhelm me and out of “nowhere” I would find myself holding on by my fingernails hanging over a bottomless pit, BUT GOD . . .
the darkness would be ever so slowly pushed back and
it became less able to oppress my spirit
as healing flowed almost imperceptibly
into my wounded heart and
the faithfulness of God
has continued to this day and
into all the nights in between . . .
let the sky fall –
BUT GOD . . .

Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At Skyfall
