The Shack, Part 2

Here there be dragons.
In His presence is fulness of joy.

Maybe this song doesn't obviously draw out the book, if you haven't read it.
If you have read and you don't know the song, well, be blessed!

If you know both the song and the book, all the better!

If you know the song, the book and the Author of the story, you're already blessed, this is just a reminder!!

She had one foot on the ground
And one foot in the air
(it seemed) the world held her cold hand
While the angels brushed her hair

"But that's how it has to end
On this side of glory,
Some wounds will never mend,"
Says the author of the story

I held one hand in the fire
And lifted one hand towards the sky
But the busy world still turned
And the angels passed me by

Sometimes there seems to be
No author of the story
These thoughts occur to me
On this side of glory

And I kissed the Lamb of God
And my fingers found the wounds
And the angels moved the stone
And I searched the vacant room

That's how it all begins
On this side of glory
"and you'll see her shine again,"
Said the author of the story
