Soft night breeze reminds me You are there.
You presence is never as real as it is in that moment.
As the world turns Chaos expands and engulfs my everyday.
The softest breath from You cools my soul,
and causes serenity to befall my spirit.
You alone are able to penetrate the exterior of my being.
You have no desire to drive me mad,
nor do You delight in my worries.
Yet, each day brings anew the reminder of our depravity.
The distance between You and us is ever present in this place.
We once embraced in Your secret place walking side by side in authenticity.
There were no worries, no concerns only fulfillment.
When presented the chance we chose to know what we should not.
Now we long to remember even a glimpse of Your glory,
and forget the “truth” of this place.
From a distance we stand cowering in fear.
A fear renewed each day in the form of Chaos.
You told us that You once conquered Chaos.
In the beginning You did great things to silence it.
Yet, we now find ourselves engage once again with this Chaos.
Why must I struggle with an enemy You already defeated.
Why do You not intercede and stop this struggle.
The Chaos winds us up and sets us on a course unnatural.
Conflict and sin become our greatest opponents.
You, the one who has the ability to stop it, remain distance from us.
A reminder of our own inability to remain true in our deeds.
Why?
Then in the warmth of the night, Your breath encompasses us.
The chill of Your presence is felt upon our necks.
Your gift is delivered in a moment of certainty.
The world is returned for just that brief moment to the beginning.
For that fleeting moment Chaos loses control.
I am reminded that Your hands have never released me.
Your Strength, never should I question.
Soft night breeze reminds me You are there.
