Cave of Adullam

My latest spoken-word musing - put to relative song (recording is posted on the "My Videos" page).

Verse 1:

That cave that beckons, this I know

Let’s keep this about you, maybe you’ll grow

What’s this that tugs, confuses and weighs?

Benumbed by trauma, and crippled by pain

It wasn’t your fault, so early in life

But pain unending, prolonged the strife

Where’s fairness, justice, and the promise of peace?

When you’re lonely, discarded, and quite frankly the least

Chorus:

No one was there, in that bone-chilling place

Ah but there was, the One Who gives grace

No one was there, in that bone-chilling place

Ah but there was, the One Who gives grace

Verse 2:

Wave upon wave, does despair make its place

Try as you may, it adorns your face

Entrapped and despondent, seems nothing has changed

But look once again, you’ve something to gain

See it again, even if you moan

See it again, you really weren’t alone

Lonely, afraid, discarded and cast

You’ll find not really, He was there alas

Chorus:

No one was there, in that bone-chilling place

Ah but there was, the One Who gives grace

No one was there, in that bone-chilling place

Ah but there was, the One Who gives grace
