inside out

the inner man is dying to live and desires to give it all away
to be lost in your embrace and to be led by you all the way
the outer man puts on a show to keep up an appearance
longing to be reconciled inside & out to close that distance

the inner man wants to be fully surrendered to your will
to be lost in your arms and be taught what it is to be still
the outer man works hard to conceal the brokenness
longing to be reconciled inside out by your fullness

the inner man is desperate to deny all of self to live true
to be lost in your presence and feel the nearness of you
the outer man fights to prove that in everything it can excel
longing to be reconciled inside out to really say, "all is well"

the inner man longs to be refreshed, renewed, and complete
to be lost in your freedom and be near to feel your heartbeat
the outer man longs to feel the warmth of your touch throughout
longing to be reconciled and to live for you from the inside out.
