Soundtrack of life

Every now and then, I come back to this song, it has stuck with me, probably more than any other. It's a healing in there somewhere. Someone gave me reason to put it on repeat again yesterday. For happy reasons. For it was that time in someone else's life. Time to say; "I'm climbing out of the rubble".

God is teaching me stuff right now. Through the people I care for. Through the people I admire. Through being where I am. Loving it.

It's been a hard year
But I'm climbing out of the rubble
These lessons are hard
Healing changes are subtle
But every day it's

Less like tearing, more like building
Less like captive, more like willing
Less like breakdown, more like surrender
Less like haunting, more like remember

Less like a prison, more like my room
It's less like a casket, more like a womb
Less like dying, more like transcending
Less like fear, less like an ending

And I feel you here
And you're picking up the pieces
Forever faithful
It seemed out of my hands, a bad situation
But you are able
And in your hands the pain and hurt
Look less like scars

Just a little while ago
I couldn't feel the power or the hope
I couldn't cope, I couldn't feel a thing
Just a little while back
I was desperate, broken, laid out, hoping
You would come

And I need you
And I want you here
And I feel you
And in your hands the pain and hurt
Look less like scars
And more like
character
