Unraveled was the song that pushed me to share this music beyond my own playlist. I think we all struggle between the old self and the new. It may not be in ‘huge’ things, but it light of the kingdom, even the litting things separate us from unity with each other, and with with Christ. We should be so grateful that regardless of the circumstances, He hold the thread when we unravel.
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
- Galatians 5:17
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
- Psalm 147:3
I claw at the light
Slipping through the cracks in my fist
Every promise I swore
Turns to dust on my tongue
I stagger between altars and shadows
My footsteps echo like lies
Even when I run toward heaven
Hell keeps pace within my mind
The good I crave won’t stay in me
The poison I despise
It drips, it drags
Like fire in my veins
I unravel
I unravel
But You hold the thread
I throw stones at my reflection
But the mirror never breaks
Every silence I keep
Turns violent in my skull
I try to bury the serpent
But I’m the soil, I’m the grave
I’m the battlefield
And both armies wear my face
The good I crave won’t stay in me
The poison I despise
It whispers, it lingers
Louder than my prayers
I unravel
I unravel
But You hold the thread
Who can cut the cord
Who can kill this war
Who will drag me out
Of this burning skin
I hear the thunder:
“It is finished. It is finished.”
The good I crave is crucified
The poison I despise buried alive
I unravel
I unravel
But You hold me
