Here in the abyss

Things creep along

Light only comes in flickers

& sounds barely move

*

I am pressed on every side

& I feel like I’ve been holding my breath forever

But I find myself ascending

& rising from the depths

*

Never realized I was cold

until I was drawn into this warmth

*

Never realized I was blind

until I came into this light

*

Never realized I had strength

until I began to push back against the tides

*

I am pressed on every side

& I feel like I’ve been holding my breath forever

But I find myself ascending

& rising from the depths

*

My eyes begin to strain

as sun beams tunnel through the water

*

My ears open up

to the songs of the sea foam

*

My body is tossed

from the echo of the waves

*

My heart begins to pound

at the anticipation of breaking through

*

I am pressed on every side

& I feel like I’ve been holding my breath forever

But I find myself ascending

& rising from the depths

*

I yearn to dwell in a realm

Where the water is always pure

*

Where the wind never ceases

*

Where the sound of thunder shakes the land

*

Where the fire is never quenched

*

Where I can gulp my first breath of heaven

*

I am pressed on every side

& I feel like I’ve been holding my breath forever

But I find myself ascending

& rising up to You
