When I started to lose Jesus, or, at least, losing was how it felt at the time, I was…
You’ve spent a long time now quieting storms Sacrificing your fists to open-palmed service the sandbag walls you build…

We make up songs. A jumpsuited man trimming hedges with a chainsaw stops to answer Fable's "What is that?" with a tutorial on how the chain turns and severs.
