Ditch
The crime inside your mind
Of thinking God is blind
Requiring supervision
and approval
Before obedience

Serve
In headaches, sweat, and dirt
Give up your only shirt
Even when it isn't cool
or hip
To sacrifice your life.

And do not fondle (idle/idol) dreams
That blot out what's in front of you
You think the future's years away
He's laid out works for you to do

Love
In weariness, dryness, and confusion
Don't lose sight of your life's infusion
Fall for Grace
every day
He's given blood for you.

After the Storm

After the Storm
by Mumford and Sons

And after the storm,
I run and run as the rains come
And I look up, I look up,
on my knees and out of luck,
I look up.

Night has always pushed up day
You must know life to see decay
But I won't rot, I won't rot
Not this mind and not this heart,
I won't rot.

And I took you by the hand
And we stood tall,
And remembered our own land,
What we lived for.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.
