the Friday. It was a holy shaking earthquake, and you were stuck up the tree. And it's the darkest side of my heart that dies when you come to me..." It's hard not to ask where God is in these things. The world is broken, unfair, confusing, sometimes so lonely or painful for people... But here is a record of the Creator of this world holding our death inside himself and opening up our 'resurrection'. Not standing aloof from it all, but sitting with us in the middle of it, to turn death and brokenness backwards through such a gift. Why? Why would he? All this may not be explained yet, and brokenness hasn't been stopped for good yet, but the hardest blow has been taken so that life can start to come to life in and around us. This is the sort of love that holds family and friends together in the darkest times; the record in the New Testament is a huge promise that we're valued and held by the same love, if we'll look more closely at it and let it in. For me, this song reflects on the most precious and difficult times I've had... Where somehow all this becomes more clear than ever, even through the confusion and waiting.
