may our hope not be false 

may our hope be unwavering 

a strong 

[rebellious-grace]

pining hearts 

clinging to what they can 

grasping at loose strands that pass them by 

no rest for the one who does cannot discern right from wrong 

no rest

27.9.16 (9.36pm)

oh to grace, how great a debtor. 

prone to wander, to leave the God i love. 

seal my heart. 

heal my heart. 

[rebellious-grace]

THERE’S NO EXCUSES FOR WHAT YOU’RE DOING.

[rebellious-grace]

i refuse to be your doormat.

gone are the days when i will say yes, when i wish i would say no.

no longer will i spend my time and energy on people who will not do the same.

[rebellious-grace]

i will fight i will fight 

and i will not give up 

i will continue 

i will march on 

i will defy the odds

i will tear down these walls

brick by brick 

and i will rise

[rebellious-grace]

fighting myself 

constantly 

like the ocean pulls and pushes 

my mind 

my spirit

is compiled of waves crashing 

[rebellious-grace]

you can take all this world, but give me Jesus. 

[rebellious-grace]

we will run and dance in the light of the new dawn 

i see light 

i see it breaking through 

like a prisoner released

i see it in you

i feel it in my soul

the flame that will not be put out.

[rebellious-grace]

oh you, 

your warm eyes 

your warm smile.

your gentle voice and movement.

you are designed for even greater things than this. 

[rebellious-grace]

could i ever forget you.

could i scratch your face from memory.

could i burn you from my history like i burned your letters

which you wrote with such poor hand.

you only gave to receive. 

a true businessman i suppose.

note: if your gut says no, and everyone else says yes, everyone else either have no clue or they just really don't care about you at all. 

[rebellious-grace]

to the one with dark eyes:

i wish you all the very best

you hurt me, 

and you confuse me.

thank you for being a brief friend

for putting your arm around me

for making late night shopping calls with me 

for once more teaching me to distrust. 

i fell so quickly for you. 

from your smile to your stupid humour. 

stupid. 

[rebellious-grace]

Light will shine through 

and dance before your eyes once again. 

You will find strength and security 

You will be complete

This peace you are filled with at this time will overflow 

Into the lives of those around. 

You: the unexpected 

You will conquer 

You will glow.

[rebellious-grace]

my God, my God

you will never forsake 

you will never leave 

you are always here.

I actually made this URL about 2 years ago, but deleted my main tumblr account which it was linked to. So here’s to a fresh start.. Here’s to 2016, to autumn and to realising potential. Here’s to you. And to me, and to all my forgotten dreams.
