Fragile and Divine

**Title: Safe in the Rain**

*(Verse 1)*

There’s a moment when I feel it start,

“If it’s now, let it tear me apart.”

Anything could happen, so whatever comes—

I open my hands, I let it run.

I recognize the wave again,

That trembling edge beneath my skin.

It’s not escape, it’s not pretend,

It’s like acceptance settling in.

I see myself in a drier light,

All my habits, wrong and right.

Every stain I tried to hide,

Standing quiet at my side.

Not with anger, not with blame,

Just “I understand your pain.”

Less a judge with iron rod,

More a child before my God.

*(Pre-Chorus)*

If I stayed inside this flow,

I would drift where I should go.

Not by force, not by fear—

Just by keeping Spirit near.

*(Chorus)*

Holy Spirit, don’t fly away,

Or is it me that runs astray?

I want to live each breath I take

Like I’m awake for Heaven’s sake.

Hold me close in the pouring rain,

Let Your warmth dissolve my shame.

If death should knock upon my door,

With You I’m safe forevermore.

*(Verse 2)*

I’m sorry, Lord, I know my sin,

But I love the tears that rise within.

Like a little girl in a storm outside,

Hiccup-crying, nowhere to hide.

And then Your arms, a gentle heat,

Tell my shaking heart to beat.

The warmth says, “Child, don’t cry right now,

You are safe, and here’s your vow.”

You’re like a candle in the dark,

Like sunlight leaving its golden mark.

I remember lying in the sun,

When I was young and life had just begun.

That simple warmth upon my face,

Was that Your quiet, ancient grace?

That heat I loved as a child at play

Feels like You are here today.

*(Pre-Chorus)*

You lift me higher, pull me near,

“Don’t just peek—step out of fear.”

Even when the whispers call,

I choose Your voice above them all.

*(Chorus)*

Holy Spirit, don’t drift from me,

Let me live in clarity.

Not as a coward standing still,

But leaning softly to Your will.

In every second, let me stay

Like I am with You here today.

Through every breath, through every scar,

Remind me always who You are.

*(Bridge)*

Sometimes it feels cinematic,

Like my life turns automatic.

I hear my thoughts like lines on screen,

Every word intense and keen.

Everything feels poetically dressed,

Every letter overblessed.

Like roses bursting out of stone,

Like joy in vowels I’ve never known.

You cuddle me in silent light,

Wrap my darkness into white.

A Father watching children play,

Guarding them through every day.

We fall, we scrape, we cry, we roam,

Then suddenly—You bring us home.

*(Breakdown)*

I look at my dogs the way

You must look at us each day.

Small and fragile, unaware,

Still so deeply in Your care.

If I can make my dog’s heart bright,

Take him somewhere full of light—

Is that a shadow of how You feel,

When You give us something real?

To give happiness, to watch it shine,

Is that joy, Lord, also Thine?

*(Verse 3)*

Love of my love, fruit of my tree,

He looks at me so innocently.

He doesn’t know my hidden fights,

He only sees my face in light.

All the drama, all the tears,

All the mixture of the years—

Anger, sorrow, joy combined,

Alchemy of heart and mind.

Oh, I love the complex blend,

Where every wound can start to mend.

All this richness, all this grace,

Given freely in this place.

If just a drop of what You are

Touched my tongue like distant star,

Infinitesimal yet divine,

Would eternity be mine?

Mold my culture, shape my way,

Let my children learn to pray.

Let Your wisdom be the flame

Lighting generations in Your Name.

*(Final Chorus)*

Holy Spirit, stay with me,

Let my life Your temple be.

No illusion, no disguise,

Just clearer hearts and open eyes.

Blessed is the one who finds

Wisdom moving through the mind.

Caught up high where words can’t tell,

Where love is more than syllables.

*(Outro)*

If night should fall with gentle breeze,

And paradise moves through the trees,

Am I allowed to speak of this?

I only know it feels like bliss.

God, I love You.

Hold me still.
