Force of Nature

Put your hand upon my head
and tell me what I'm thinking
Put your hand upon my heart
and tell me what I'm feeling
Your touch has healed me
many times before
like the waves that crash
on the seashore
creating newness on the face
of the waters edge
So much sifting in the
shallowness
Bringing substance to the surface
for which the gull will feed
Your hand upon my soul
is what I need
It's all so simple when you
say it, so hard to do
when you walk out in the ocean
the forces that oppose you
oh the forces that oppose you
are the same that change you
the forces that oppose you
how they will consume you
