There in that place His humanness claimed its right to be known.
There in that place the darkness
pressed in as He stood alone.
There in that place the silence
decried, denounced,and disowned His belief.
There in that place the tears
brought little to no real relief.
Here in this place my humanness
exposes the truth - I’m not what I thought.
Here in this place the darkness
hides the reality of the fight being fought.
Here in this place the silence
speaks clearly, loudly, and all too much.
Here in this place the tears
fall as I reach for the solace of Your touch.
There He was reminded of the strength He had;
So there He proclaimed “not Mine, but Thine.”
Here I’m reminded You’ve been where I am;
So here with You I say “not mine, but Thine.”
There in that place the darkness
pressed in as He stood alone.
There in that place the silence
decried, denounced,and disowned His belief.
There in that place the tears
brought little to no real relief.
Here in this place my humanness
exposes the truth - I’m not what I thought.
Here in this place the darkness
hides the reality of the fight being fought.
Here in this place the silence
speaks clearly, loudly, and all too much.
Here in this place the tears
fall as I reach for the solace of Your touch.
There He was reminded of the strength He had;
So there He proclaimed “not Mine, but Thine.”
Here I’m reminded You’ve been where I am;
So here with You I say “not mine, but Thine.”
