MercyMe's been in my AirPods lately, hence, another song fic. This time it's Word of God speak and the year is 1982. i don't own the dukes of hazzard, or MercyMe for that matter. also, idc that the song came out in the 2000's and this is in the 80's. I just ignore that. anyway, on with it!
There he sat again, in a flimsy, plastic chair, holding his cousins' frail hand in both of his. This was one of the worst feelings Luke could have, unable to do anything for his cousin Bo as he laid there, victimized by asthma. He didn't know if Bo knew he was there or not, seeing as how he was sedated, but it didn't matter. He wanted Bo to feel safe and loved, no matter what. Somehow holding his hand all day made Luke feel slightly better about the situation. He'd brought his guitar, but he didn't know why. Something'd just told him to bring it along so, he did.
Then that same Something told him to pick it up and start fingerpicking in the key of Bb so, he did. Before he knew it words where coming from his mouth that he didn't even know, and he was singing as the chords flowed from his fingers:
"I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay
The last thing I need is to be heard
But to hear what You would say
Word of God speak
Would You pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That You're in this place
Please let me stay and rest
In Your holiness
Word of God speak
I'm finding myself in the midst of You
Beyond the music, beyond the noise
All that I need is to be with You
And in the quiet hear Your voice
Word of God speak
Would You pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That You're in this place
Please let me stay and rest
In Your holiness
I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay."
Luke finished and reached to take Bo's hand again.
"That was good, cousin..." Bo rasped.
"Bo, you're awake?" Luke looked at Bo's eyes, begging them to open.
"Yeah..." Bo slowly opened his eyes. "Takes a lot to put me out..." He slurred.
Luke chuckled softly. "How you feel?" He asked.
"Okay..." Bo's eyes slowly drifted shut again.
"You wanna sleep now?" Luke asked.
"Nah..." Bo mumbled as he fell asleep.
Luke smiled as he watched Bo fall asleep, a real sleep, not a sedated sleep. He still didn't let go of his hand, of course.
