living in the lion's mouth

Never been content to exist,
My heart always longed for more.
Around me voices pester,
"What life will you make for yourself?"

"Believe in yourself,
Be all that you can be,
Fight for what you want,
Never stop striving."

Is this all there is to life?

You cause a stirring in my spirit,
Inviting me beyond myself.
When my mind understands not,
And others predict failure,
Your gentle peace pursues my heart.

"Give it up, let it go,
Life us not chasing security,
Trust is not leaving one hand tied to a net."

Never been content to exist,
Glorious anticipation, our hearts wonder,
"What life will You lead us to?"

So here we are,
Between the lion and the lemming,
Each choice a step away from self,
Toward safety in His jaws,
For the Lion is an angel.
