Soul, Vessel, Whole! ORIGINAL LYRICS by BJB

Bent over- am I supposed follow such crazy thoughts
Is this really what it means
So much untruth
O Lordy, where's the blessed light?
Take it's crown, to be a vessel?
Make an altar, lay it down?
So that I will be able to radiate
Pure light 
Permanence- You'll stay with me,
Once lit- all around shall see
What beauty
In such a huge rooted tree
It's shelters all of me
I'll attest to that lovin' way
Fallin down just to pray
Headed higher
To the Peak
When I come back down
All shall see
Signifies growth- but it doesn't come easy
Paying a price for such lovely beauty
Following the deer
Leading me
Such symbolism 
Most can't see
I buried your the written words
But carry your truth
Teach me now
Gotta make a vessel outta me
 

-Bethany Joy Sturrock Barnhart
