"Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
Whose hearts are set on pilgrimage."
Psalm 84:5
Every song I write is like a piece of me, but this one...
For about a year, I found myself reading Psalm 84 every morning. The first morning, I thought it was beautiful, and then... I was reading it every day. Because I wanted to claim the heart of it as my own and feel it echo in my very bones.
Within those many readings, "Sand" started to drift into the corners of my mind--the walk across a never-ending, dusty desertland, homesickness for a place I've never been, faith that the promises are true, the doorway, the house...
Maybe it'll drift into someone else's thoughts now, too...
And to the wayfaring wanderer: I know a place of blue water...
This is "Sand."
