Always repairing
Always preparing
Hooked and I can’t stop staring
Only one word comes to mind
Only one life that won’t rewind
Only one love to remind me
The center of my center is
A broken splinter, a slit under
These fingernails, a billboard
Of Your love reads me high above
Skyscraper affection, tall and strong
And lasting long—
I am not better,
I am new,
I am not without a fever
But I am burning up daily
Shedding away tears and fears
And all that I can’t face on my
Own—this heart is burning up
Repair for the despair
Help us follow through with
Following You—this is the love
Letter I write to You my Lord and
Savior—you are the center of all
That is righteous and the center
Of all that is true,
No Jesus=No Justice,
No unwind this to me
What is right and where
Is the might to live it
Out? Grace for the past
And grace for the future
Stay closely in the center
