Like a Lake

So much hurt and preservation
Like a tendril round my soul
So much painful information
No clear way on how to hold it
When everything in me is tightening
Curling in around this ache
I will lay my heart wide open
Like the surface of a lake
Wide open like a lake
Standing at this waters edge
Looking in at God's own heart
I've no idea where to begin
To swallow up the way things are
Everything in me is drawing in
Closing in around this pain
I will lay my heart wide open
Like the surface of a lake
Wide open like a lake
Bring the wind and bring the thunder
Bring the rain till I am tried
When it's over bring me stillness
Let my face reflect the sky
And all the grace and all the wonder
Of a peace that I can't fake
Wide open like a lake
Everything in me is tightening
Curling in around this ache
I am fighting to stay open
I am fighting to stay open
Open open oh wide open
Open like a lake
