The Solution

Is not to just become okay with it.
That does not make it go away.

You have to actually invade and fight back the darkness, in order to set the captives free.

You cannot simply walk away and pretend that it isn't there.


While that option may make you feel a lot better at the moment,
the slaves still stay as they are.





Do not mistake my joyous waves
For drowning I hope to escape
I have come to occupy this sea
Completely willingly
I ran into its wild waters
Hoping to be swept away
Hoping it would pull me under
To that secret resting place
One that I admit I've never known
But through this love has grown
And caused me to forget my own ability to swim

I will not float above, for life begins when I am plunged below
As I abandon everything I thought myself so wise to know

This flood, this flood, this raptured flow
Take me, toss me, to and fro
This flood, this flood, this vision swells
Oh Heaven, move us, make us tell!

The dead and desert thirst
For what the blossom holds,
Tucked safe inside
The glory of the coming kingdom
Longs to bloom, instead of hide

I will not float above, for life begins when I am plunged below
As I abandon everything I thought myself so wise to know

This flood, this flood, this raptured flow
Take me, toss me, to and fro
This flood, this flood, this vision swells
Oh heaven, move us, make us tell!

Return again, oh ransomed one
Shout with joy and come away
To Zion, as it welcomes you
For salvation is here to stay
