Made for More
Written By: Brianna Hudson
Slipping again –
the weights of a burdened world
bruised on our skin –
bound by the fate of humanity
separate from Him,
dripping with sin,
tumbling through the shifting shadows
without end.
Is this how we were meant
to live?
Drowning again –
in the depths of swelling seas
no one can reach
and no one can see.
Fake smiles lids on oceans
boiling behind our teeth.
Is this how it was meant
To be?
Stumbling through blindly
a life made of nothing?
Wait.
Open your eyes.
There’s a glimmer in the ocean,
a glowing in the deep –
a Man who comes clothed in
our clothes,
heart beating for our hearts,
beneath our kind of skin and bones.
A Man who keeps His word
and pulls us out of our dark and shadowed
holes,
unites us again,
and brings us home.
And though we thought we could never be
anything more than stumbling
human beings
we were made –
always were made –
for higher things,
times like these.
Suffering
and joy,
pain and
beauty.
Through oceans as dark as our seas
and shadows as thick as we’ve seen,
through hands bruised and dirtied as these,
his hands reach.
He wants you and me –
we the people –
His hands and feet.
May we show the world
His unity.
