Dark Days, Lightly viewed.

It has been a very dark couple of weeks. I have been praying a lot. Can't talk about it, so I haven't been posting either. I have been writing though. The writing was dark as well. Yesterday, I decided to get light! God may strike me down for this, but I believe he too has a sense of humor.

If I as Christ at Gethsemane wept:

Father, take this burden from me I implore.

…this is not what I signed on for!

Lord, let me just hang in this garden awhile

I'm sure we could do without the trial

You only said it would be neat to get down

see what the place was like from the ground

I didn't think you were going to get cross with me

then hang me out to die on that tree…

~

Father, take this burden from me I implore.

…this is not what I signed on for!"

I've made a lot of friends down here

why just the other day we were

drinkin wine and havin fun

now you tell me I'm your son

I know, I know, I shouldn't have walked on the water

It was a little too showy, but sometimes I falter…

~


Father, take this burden from me I implore.

…this is not what I signed on for!"

Mom always sez "Can't you be more like your Father?"

If this is where it gets me, why should I bother

I just want to live and let live

why you gotta make me give, give, give

How come I can't just be who I AM

I wish you had told me this was your plan

~

Father take this burden from me I implore.

…this is not what I signed on for!

Alright, so I cheesed a few people off

and I suppose that comes at some cost

but nailin me like this, and puttin me

out in the open where everyone can see

is just a bit much don't you think?

Its not like I left dirty dishes in the sink!

~

Father take this burden from me I implore.

…this is not what I signed on for!

I tried my best Dad

gave it all that I had

I promise I'll do better next time

I didn't know love was a crime

I'm still your kid, and I know you still like me

can't we talk about this, before you smite me?
