Remind

Tonight is a night...
...for song lyrics that you had forgotten
until just now
and I reminded you.

Tonight is a night...
...for memories that had almost faded away
until just now
and I reminded you.

Tonight is a night...
...for the great Lion's redemptive power
over broken stones and almost-forgotten magic
until He reminded you.

Tonight is a night...
...for a strange sort of love that makes you want to sing
and weep
all at once.

Tonight is a night...
...for simple wishes and complicated piano concertos.
The things that simplify and confuse
all at once.

Tonight is a night...
...for overflowing thought and too much mystery
for one simple mind to comprehend
all at once.

Tonight is a night...
for reminders and recollections of past sins and glorious love
all at once
as you're reminded.

Because that's what He does, you see.

He reminds me
all at once.

His song is love.
I dare not forget.

So please, my King
remind me
all at once.

  1. These are such beautiful words! You should write a book. P.S. Your pictures in these posts are always so dreamy...do you take them yourself, or find them online? Be blessed :)

  2. Rachel.
    Every time you post something I feel so blessed after reading it. So...reminded...of our great Savior. Of His love. Of His sacrifice.
    Oh, how I wish I could use words like you do, not to reap praise or any other silliness, but to be able to bless you the way your words bless us.
    I'm praying for you.
    Stand strong in Christ, because you are one of His brightest lights.

I look at you and see all the ways a soul can bruise, and I wish I could sink my hands into your flesh and light lanterns along your spine so you know there's nothing but light when I see you. :: Shinji Moon
