Julie Brandon – ‘A Covenant Remembered’

 

Am I ready to go

Somehow bondage seems easier than following a man I’ve never met for a God I don’t

remember

Multitudes pull me in their wake

All that I love goes so what choice do I have

The heat, the cries of the little ones, the hurried goodbyes

The sea lies before us, unpassable

Faith begins to grow, a ripple of hope

I am dancing
