There are those sometimes when I feel unlike the rest.
And that's not so bad until I come up dehydrated
From a frozen over river, a spring stopped in its cycle,
And I shut my eyes to those round me who have fainted.
How can I desire wealth and the winning of this race?
They say that loosing is victory in Your freeing chains.
How can I climb this wall when You tell me to fall,
Into my weakness, Your strength, and the shrieking of all?
Somedays I ask for freedom and for sliding into that,
And turn my back on sweet incarceration and the pain.
And I unplug my nervous system to all those around
Who are slaving and dying in the light of Your Name.
Did You give me life, just so I could live?
Did You give me freedom, just so I could give?
Did You call my name, just so I could call?
Or is this the greatest calling of all?
