I saw him dancing
The initial understanding came through the bird
“Take a risk of being hurt”
Two days later was exactly what I heard
Then at the first of the week
I felt the grace begin
I took a giant step in boldness
Taking a risk of being hurt again
In the next few days that followed
I wrestled with more than I had really known
In the middle of what was happening
I realized God was connected with me on the phone
So intently I began to listen to His voice
As painful as it all began to sound
Then he uncovered so many character defects
I frantically began to cower around
If it weren’t for the initial bird I saw
Dancing around that day
I wouldn’t have really known
That it was God taking character defects away
This is why I love
The sound of His unmistakable voice
As he spoke in love to me about the ugly stuff
I then made an honorable choice
I simply asked
“Please take these shortcomings away”
In an instant the ugly things vanished
My heart is now ready to dance again like the bird I saw that day
