PALINDROME

PALINDROME

We are sideways in this place
nothing matters but we face
all our problems and this grace
is ours to hold

We are righteous
and we are bold


Life unfolds in scary ways
We expected no delays
All our problems meet God’s grace
This life is gold

We are righteous
We are told


So long waiting in this hope
Let them hang there with their rope
How are we supposed to cope
Doubt leaves us cold

We the righteous
poured in Christ’s mold


Trust is such a funny thing
And reason mocks us while we sing
Waiting for the coming King
to save our souls

Still we are righteous
while we’re un-whole
