Forgetting that God has promised
To never repeat the Flood
We’ve busied ourselves opening the floodgates
Expecting to end it all
As we flood the planes
In a bloodbath
Instead, we are in for a miracle:
As we stage a final battle
To finish ourselves off
We will instead launch a new beginning
After which we can begin
Getting to know ourselves for who we really are–
Children of God
Who once nearly killed ourselves
By serving ourselves
But now that we are all grown up
Have learned how to fly
Not because we are angels
But because we aren’t
And, nevertheless, summoned the courage
To finally leap out of the nest
And trust that God is the ground beneath our feet
We fly by walking with God
