the moon--

I'm listening to a song on repeat today.  
Over and over it plays-- 

If you are the sun, then I want to be the moon. 
I want to reflect the light that shines from you.  
If this is war, then I'm going to draw my sword.  
This time I know what I'm fighting for.  
God I want to let you know, 
I want everything you are. 
I'm waiting for the morning light 
to show a fire in the dark.  
Shine your light, I want to feel you now.  
God, I need a miracle.  Take my heart, make it glow.

Words cannot describe my heart.  
All I know is that this world is full of injustice.  
All I know is that He is faithful.  
All I know is that He is just.  
All I know is that He has given me a heart for these twenty-two precious souls.  
All I know is that He calls me love them.  
All I know is that He calls me to defend the helpless and bring hope and peace in His name.  


I didn't know what I was getting into. I had only heard the stories. I want to be a source of peace and safety for them.  My broken heart has gained perspective today.  I never knew I could feel so much.  Eyes are dry, heart is heavy. 

Whatever it takes, I give it all away.  
I want to show my love in a thousand ways.  

That's why we are here after all: 
love God, love people.  


I want to be the moon.
