"For those who know and understand, no explanation is necessary. For those who don't; no explanation would ever be enough."
-Sonshine

I
Thorns and Thrones

I'd rather gather roses without thorns, Lord,
a bright and fragrant, beautiful bouquet
To decorate my world with pretty pleasures--
the brambles and the briers, I'll throw away.

But you say I must pluck the thorns as well, Lord,
although they'll pierce my heart and sting my soul;
You say that pain's a part of peace, you tell me
that breaking is a part of being whole.

You say that if I truly want to know you,
I must count everything but Christ a loss;
You ask me to exchange my way for yours, Lord,
to trade contentment's kingdom for a cross.

And so I come before you, weak but willing;
I seek to walk your path, and not my own;
I choose to share the crown of thorns you wore, Lord,
until I kneel before your throne.
