afraid of falling
can’t you feel His hands
holding you?
let go
unclench your fingers
holding on tight
just makes it worse
someday you’ll know
everything
just not today
and maybe not tomorrow
are you afraid
in the dark
of the dark
in your heart?
do you fear that
your tears
are corroding your soul?
empty your hands
surrender the plans
unmade
that bring you pain
do you remember
His hands?
how they healed the blind
the brokenhearted
how nails ripped through flesh
veins and ligaments
how blood dripped down
and doubting thomas
believed
with those hands
He longs to
lift your face
wiping all your
tears away
won’t you let
go
and let Him?
