It’s been another particularly hard week on my hall. Between hospital runs, comforting broken hearts and casting out demons, an RA never rests. 
(Only slightly kidding…I do sleep sometimes.) I wrote a song for my girls I wanted to share. I wrote the song over the break, and each verse is an incident that happened during what we now call EBW (epic battle weekend last semester). We’re had a couple more such epic weeks and weekends, so they’re not as epic anymore. This song is how I pray for my girls. I’m probably recording it this weekend…which will mean it is the first time any of my music has been professionally recorded. Exciting. Now, if only I can make it to friday!
Lullaby For Balcony
Those lies can whisper so loudly in your head
And the Truth, he whispers so truly you can’t hear what he said
Hush
Let me speak louder than the liar inside your ears
Hush
Look up to the mountains, help is very near
So near
I’ll keep watch through all the shadows of this night
And tomorrow I may need you, but now, rest
I will fight
It doesn’t feel like he can hear you when you cry
And you wonder if he sees all the tears in your eyes
Hush
He is holding you so tightly in his arms
Hush
Though you’re walking through a battle you’ll not be harmed
Be not alarmed
I’ll keep watch through all the shadows of this night
And tomorrow I may need you, but now, rest
I will fight
He said he’d never slumber and you wonder if that’s true
But you can’t see just how he covers all his feathers over you
Hush
His faithful promises are your armor and your shield
Hush
Though these terrors seem so strong, they are not real
He is real
I’ll keep watch through all the shadows of this night
And tomorrow I may need you, but now, rest
I will fight
And I hate that liar with all that’s in me now
He can get out of my house and go to hell
So I’ll love you
I’ll love you with everything I’ve got
Hush
I can feel your sobs as I hold you in my arms
The father hears me pray, he knows your broken heart
O baby, hush
Child of God, you are so loved
Hush
