Resolve

Shadows set the mood
Innocence left the room...
and all I know to do is shed a tear for you.
Please don't be ashamed whether you win or lose,
I just want you to know that I'm proud of you.
Don't be afraid when your fight is through,
I just need you to know that I'm here with you.

I can't watch you choose
to pour salt in your wounds,
now all I know to do is say a prayer for you
Please don't be ashamed whether you win or lose,
I just want you to know that I'm proud of you!

Don't be afraid when your fight is through,
I just need you to know that I'm here with you!
--10 Years, "Proud Of You"

This isn't just happiness, or excitement, or resolved anticipation. No, this is so much greater. This is a revelation all its own. Can words describe? If they can then I don't want to hear them, because they cannot compare - for this is God. Will the turning of one single gear ignite the spark of a life-sized mechanism? Has the broken bone healed so that the crutch may be tossed aside for good?

God only knows!
