Fire Walk

I walk down the path

The path of pain, the path of fire

And I really wonder why

These flames keep getting higher

The pain is so intense, so raw

It scalds my entire being

Deeper and deeper it burns

These flames are seething

I run and I try to hide

I scream and I wretchedly cry

I fight and violently shake

I really don’t understand the why

Is this what love looks like

Is that what I’m called to

Is this the pain of what it is

And all that it has to do

Jesus I’m looking to you

You are the perfect picture

In love you gave everything

In devotion you were sure

Your love goes far deeper

Than any pain I can see

Your love is far greater

I know it covers me

The flames are subsiding

I’m finally seeing your grace

My selfishness is gone

With only ashes in its place

I pick up those ashes

And in brokenness I turn

I give this gift to you

It’s the love I had to learn

I have nothing else

Nothing left to give

But my undying love

And the ashes on my grave
