ENTERING THE WOMB

LOVE led me to the entrance
A darkness I had never known
Raised by terror, fear shaped a story
That had overtaken and grown
....mental illness

When I first saw ahead
The very thing LOVE wouldn't allow me to escape
I argued with my LORD, til he presented the option I couldn't afford
I walked into a dark tunnel to finally face
...trust

Step by step I gave words to my assumption
As I gathered the last morsel of gumption
...to lift my leg
.....terror weighted my ankles
..............."MY LORD, WHAT IF......

Every concern silenced by LOVE
Just as trust settled my soul
HE wrapped me "criss-cross applesauce"
As my broken melted into HIS whole
...together we reign

That was ten years ago
And I find myself IN a similar place
Transformation has changed my stance
So that LOVE guides me as I walk with grace
....into the unknown KNOWN

There is no longer any fear
Like an embryo in the womb
I can hear LOVE's voice
And HE in me is the LIGHT in every room

I will come through
Because eternity shows, I'm already out
Though all the forces of fear wage war
LOVE will not enter into unbelief, fear, or doubt

From dark to light
The fallen are made right
From fear to LOVE
Humanity is yielded up
....in unison.
