lyrics

We keep getting sicker, waiting for something good to happen, while you’re taking care of everyone by yourself. You can’t do it all. You have to slow down. I’ve never seen you in the desert. You were always the one who showed me the way out. Now my questions have become yours. Where is He in your aching joints? Where is He in a car crash? You can’t find Him. You don’t want to. It is good to have you back, but you are not all the way better. Don’t understate these events. It has been a whole lot. You need rest. Receive His peace. It’s a gift to see the world in all its brokenness, showing us we’re only a breath away. We keep getting sicker, waiting for something good to happen, while you’re taking care of everyone by yourself. You can’t do it all. You have to slow down. Consider it pure joy, my mother, as you face trials of many kinds. We are called to eternal glory after we suffer for a little while.
