"Taker"

We often see You as the God who takes,

but not the one who gives.


The God who destroys,

but not the one who builds up.


The God who allows for hurt,

but not the one generous in joy.


Our eyes so marred that you're a taker of all good things,

when all things were made through You.


Your divine wonders orchestrated we cannot comprehend,

lest our mortal capability bend.


However, I won't lie..

it's true You do take,

but not in limitation of what we think.


You take our tears,

so we don't drown in sorrow's agony.


You take our laughter,

forming each into a sweet-savoury memory.


And as for me...

You took my burdens,

when they were too much to stubbornly bear.


You took my questions,

promising one day I would understand what You do.


You took my frustration,

even when I pointed it at You.


And when I didn't want my own life,

You took that too.
