you are.

You are good.
and You cannot be otherwise so
in Your hands
we uncomfortably wrestle
with all You are
opposed to what we see
in the psalmist cave
we're on our knees

What is this?
Can you hear the noise from our lips?
It's the only thing left to say
My world is yours to take
take my family, take my job
take the cash deep in my pockets (soul)
take this stone, replace a heart
give me the Spirit to grasp the goodness You are

You are there.
& You cannot be never here
in the womb
in the tomb
in the burning and beautiful
we call out
and often hear nothing
then wake to see
You were the sound
of our calling
