Farewellness/It is Well

It’s time to release,
To say goodbye and walk ahead
They may have demeaned
And left me for dead,

But God resurrected.

I wanted to be protected,
For some people to call home:
They beat that out of me,
But I am never alone

When my Maker is close.

It’s no wonder I wasn’t their people;
I know to Whom I belong.
And they didn’t resemble Him;
I knew that all along.

Maybe in time they will.

But in the meanwhile, I forge on
I pray I also look more like Him in time,
Because He says I am His;
He’s the only One who’s ever been mine.

And we have miles left to travel.

There’s nothing worth stopping for
On the trip to the cross,
To the crown, to the vow:
I’m willing to count it all as loss;

I’m sorry I took so long.

I leave them in His hands,
And symbolically wash my own.
He knows what’s in His plan:
If there’s reconciliation, I know

He will do that work.

I will focus on the practical
Hurdles before me,
And leave relationships aside
Unless He restores me.

By His grace, I will mount and fly

He was worth the grave.
He is worth the sky.
