Let's defy the odds

one thing is always true,
that which i most forget.
the way that i bring my own pain-
when i turn my face from You.
gravity, wasted. depleted by time.
the world spins on watching,
waiting and grasping,
echoing that of my mind.
so let's defy the odds.
let's jump ship and go.
i'll empty my pocket of rocks,
if you'll lift this vertigo.
my hand, a needle and thread,
wait to be set free.
to build upon what You have said,
to do Your work for me.
and amid my city of wreckage
beneath the brush and debris,
i'm seeing a city of pillars
that cannot be shaken by me.
so let's defy the odds.
i'm seeing a city of pillars,
that cannot be shaken by me.
