How long?

For whatever situational or psychological or spiritual reason, I woke up bummed. Maybe even depressed. Which is random, because I am generally a happy-go-lucky kinda person. But it's kind of like a cloud is hanging over my head. I can't get it to move... After what felt like a very long day, I cancelled the appointment at the dealership to fix the shim kit, and headed home. I took a nap, talked with my dad, studied for a test tomorrow, and the most therapeutic of all, perhaps, I dug up some old music. And this oldie (called Naive) from Chris Rice has been playing in my head...

How long until You defend Your name and set the record right
And how far will You allow the human race to run and hide
And how much can You tolerate our weaknesses
Before You step into our sky blue and say “That’s quite enough!”

Am I naive to want a remedy for every bitter heart
Can I believe You hold an exclamation point for every question mark
And can I leave the timing of this universe in bigger hands
And may I be so bold to ask You to please hurry?

I hear that a God who’s good would never let the evil run so long
But I say it’s because You’re good You’re giving us more time, yeah
‘Cause I believe that You love to show us mercy
But when will You step into our sky blue and say
“That’s quite enough,And your time is up!”

Am I naive to want a remedy for every bitter heart
Can I believe You hold an exclamation point for every question mark
And can I leave the timing of this universe in bigger hands
And may I be so bold to ask You to please hurry?


Not that I don't love life, and this world, and all the beautiful people in it... but today is just one of those days that I wouldn't mind if God stepped into our sky blue. I would like to be with Him.
