engulf

"you slowly lifted your head from your hands
you said "i just don't think that you'll understand
you'll never look at me that way again
if you knew what i did"

and so your tears fell and melted the snow
you told me secrets nobody had known
but i never loved you more, even though
now i knew what you did

oh, my dear, ill wait for you
grace tonight will pull us through
until the tears have left your eyes
until the fear can sleep at night
until the demons that you're scared of
disappear inside
until the scale begins to crack
and the weight falls from your back...
oh, my dear, ill keep you in my arms tonight."
-tenth avenue north: oh, my dear

i'm in love with this song.

engulf: to submerge, to plunge or immerse, envelop, bury, inundate, deluge, swamp, to swallow up or overwhelm by or as if by overflowing and enclosing, consume

i love the fact that i'm covered. i am drenched in an embrace...i exist under a waterfall of love...i'm enveloped in this hold...all the time...and when i question...i'm covered in the One who knows all the answers and all the mysteries...whether He decides to let me in on them or not...i can trust He's the one who engulfs me...grace will pull me through.
