My descent into the cave
+
Had been delayed
+
By years of proxy revelation
+
Convictions all relayed
+
All the light below the
+
Surface was manmade
+
And all I knew began to
+
Quiver as soon as I belayed
+
Down into the darkness
+
It takes courage to dig down deep
+
To wrestle God through the night
+
And it gets harder to stand back up
+
When you can't see the morning light
+
Looking back I must have
+
Been out of my mind
+
Spelunking into darkness
+
Thinking I could find a brighter light
+
When I came up again
+
I found myself surprised
+
Relieved to see the sun had
+
Never lost a bit of shine
+
Blinded by its brightness
+
It takes courage to dig down deep
+
To wrestle God through the night
+
And it gets harder to stand back up
+
When you can't see the morning light
+
We all must cross into the dark
+
But don't be afraid
+
It's not too far not too late to start
+
You have what it takes
+
You may get lost you may get scarred
+
But you'll find your way back out
+
As long as you don't stop moving
+
It takes courage to dig down deep
+
To wrestle God through the night
+
But it takes more just to stand back up
+
And limp into the morning light
+
To drop the answers
+
That you have rehearsed
+
And let your wound be
+
A gift and not a curse
+
