God's Love from God's Love by Jjajja Lakeeri

I wrote this song on my way back from a job centre. Walking down the street in rain, the only difference between tears and the rain drops was the salt in my tears. Just then, God showed this tree standing in the rain. Its back was rough and full of scars but that wasn't its story. It was indeed a bugs' city. Birds were singing on its branches and water was streaking through its scars all the way down to its roots.

Lyrics

God’s love
Today when I read Job Chapter 41
I was terrified, hearing your voice, speaking to me
A fearsome God, walking beside me, speaking to me, through your Word
Making me know, that I am unable to contend with you

I fell on my knees, with my heart trembling
I could not stop my eyes, my tears from falling
When I asked you why, why did you use me?
Knowing that I can not content with you?
You placed my hand upon an oak tree
Far away in the wilderness
Asking me questions
Knowing that I am unable
To contend with you

Did I ask you where to put the Roots – Of this tree
Were you there when I scored the scars – On this tree
Did I ask you where to wipe the sap – From this tree
Did I ask you to stop the bleeding – Of this tree
By the scars I make a name – For this tree
Through the scars I water the roots – Of this tree
In its scars I make a pond, for worms to have a home
For the bees I make hive, I am God alone
I mold for your good, Just like this tree

I got off my knees,
With a trembling soul deep within me
I felt God’s hand
Softly softly moving over my scars
A fearsome God, walking beside me
Making me strong through my scars
Making me know that I am just a harbor
Unable to contend, I cannot content
With God’s love
