I close all the blinds and turn off the lights
I’m hiding from chaos where evil ignites
Outside is this life, dark and obscure
But behind these two windows I sit so secure
They can’t see inside, I’m hidden from view
Staying away from the masses, I trust just a few
It’s they who know me and what I’m about
But I’m intentionally quiet, not wanting to shout
Not sure why I do this, why I keep it all in
I know I have the answer, He’s the forgiver of sin
My Savior is Jesus and I live in that truth
God is the creator and the Bible is proof
But sitting here safe it’s emptiness I feel
There’s something I’m missing, God, tell me your will
Trust in your Father don’t fear what’s outside
You are my child and your life I will guide
What’s behind those two windows is my weapon of choice
So take down those curtains and start using your voice
My soldier you are, so strong and so bold
This world really needs you to warm up the cold
Christ lives inside you, the Holy Spirit’s within
It’s through those blue eyes you let the example begin
And keep them wide open for I’ll give you the signs
Now throw out those curtains and get rid of those blinds
My word is the light and to shine is the goal
Let it glow bright from the windows of your soul
Expose who you are, share your heart every day
You’ve surrendered your life, now show them the way
Now go, you are ready, I see you are strong
It’s out in the trenches saving lives you belong
For I love you THIS much, and you make me so proud
I’ll come for you soon, so watch for the cloud
Wow! What inspiring words! Taci you are truly blessed with this amazing talent. As I am reading various blogs of yours today I am realizing how it’s so funny and truly amazing to me how God has used my friendships through high school (went to school with your sisters in Happy Camp) to lead me to your blog on this very day, almost 25 years later, to read articles that I needed to read TODAY! I don’t think of it as fate or coincidence, it is God’s complete and perfect plan! Thank you!
