A White Blank Page

Can you lie next to her
and give her your heart, your heart?
As well as your body
And can you lie next to her
and confess your love, your love?
As well as your folly
And can you kneel before the king
and say, "I'm clean", "I'm clean"?

But tell me now where was my fault
in loving you with my whole heart?
Oh, tell me now where was my fault
in loving you with my whole heart?

A white blank page
and a swelling rage, rage
You did not think
when you sent me to the brink, to the brink
You desired my attention
but denied my affections, my affections

So tell me now where was my fault
in loving you with my whole heart?
Oh tell me now where was my fault
in loving you with my whole heart?

Lead me to the truth and I
will follow you with my whole life
Oh lead me to the truth and I
will follow you with my whole life

-Mumford & Sons

Years later, and still this song expresses it all perfectly.

Today I woke to rolling thunder and pouring rain. It feels appropriate. I know I've let my mind turn to fear and thus lost much of my serenity-- it's oddly comforting to have the weather reflect that. Still, it's a new week and a fresh opportunity to surrender all that I have no control over. Life may be uncertain, but there is One who is steadfast in the storm. I'll cling to Him.

Happy monday, all.
