Expectations

You've thrown out your metrics
        and all expectations you had.
The world is too big
        and the sane are the same as the mad.
The wind in your curtains
        is singing you nothing but jazz.

A sucker for chocolate
        but never know what you might get.
You'll stand up and take it,
        and nothing's too much for you yet,
'Cause God is the one thing
        you know you can always expect.

You've torn out the pages
        that hold all your fears about fate.
The unconcerned current
        will carry them far from the lake.
Or they might
        just get lodged
                in a dam and dis
                                          int
                                              e
                                                grate.

Romans 5:4-5   Character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
