Looking for Something?

Collision

It's the place where Heaven and Earth collide.

While we're walking about in our anxiety and unpreparedness.
Dreaming of a better time, 
barely keeping my weary heart alive.
In the midst of battling an unstoppable foe.

But the collision changes everything.

Walking without knowing
Dreaming of answering
Battling defeat itself.
Though something cries out, this not of me, this not of the world,
Nothing suppresses it, nothing but ourselves.

It's the sound when Heaven and Earth collide.

Saying is the easy part, believing is just another story,
But in these dreams...
The stories become one.

The collision changes everything.

Questions always boil down to the circumstance...
But we've all been there... wherever there is for you.
Losing faith in oh so many things...

Yet we are all in that place where Heaven and Earth collide.

It's where we get the courage to stand, pain... ignoring,
just to keep this tattered heart beating.
It's where dreams slip away, 
bringing us back to our starting point... the beginning of play.

The collision changes everything.

It's in the moment of our brokenness...
Mending begins.
In the moment of our doubt...
Faith holds out.

It doesn't give up on you.

In the moment of our hurting...
Healing's promise becomes reality.
In the moment of confusion... 
Peace stills us.

Collision makes all things new.

My life declares it to be true.

It's when Heaven and Earth collide...

We grow tired of defending what we've become,
that no longer being the difference maker.
The place where our heart breaks,
the times we see how much we're a faker,
the place where we feel we are falling from grace,
the times of confusion and pain,
the moment of troubled taste,
the place honesty makes a gain...
It's in THAT place...

Where the collision changes everything.

In this world I lose faith in so many things,
but I can't give up on this.
Trusting just one day at a time,
it is the answer in the middle, of this rhyme.

We don't need every answer in life.
Yet deep calls out to itself, all the time. 
It brings about an idea trend,
of things I'll never get back again.

But Redemption is here.

It's what happens when Heaven and Earth collide.
Remaking everything in this dismal time.
Call me a dreamer, 
I'm still a believer.

I've met the redeemer.

I've given up on so many things, but I'm not giving up on you...
Because the collision can make everything...

New.
