Funko Pops
Line the top two shelves of my two bookcases
Which have far fewer books on display these days
So many were unread that I grew ashamed
Anyway
Most of them are Star Wars Pops
Episode 8 to be exact
But we've also got Fall Out Boy, Mega Man, and Mad Men
But now they're running out of space
The galaxy might be far away, but it's too small
For whether they go by foot or flying lightspeed
They'll only find one bedroom at the end of the hall

Next to those
Is my record player with a box of LPs
That started with just a few Thrice albums
But my mom thought it'd be nice to have a table for them
So here I am
With my own vinyl collection
Bought more often than I listen
'Cause Spotify makes it way too easy
Plus my apartment living room is a mess
So I never even set my speakers up
Surrounded by boxes that I need to unpack
Which are filled with the books that I've never read

But I'm holding onto the promise
That Luke will not be the last Jedi
Yeah, I'm holding onto the promise
That Luke will not be the last Jedi

Yet of all my toys and all my CDs
Or the movie collection that stands by the screen
My favorite thing most recently
Is every morning when we wake up early
Forgoing an extra hour of sleep
We sit on the couch to pray and to read
Holding each other and hot cups of coffee
Reading aloud letters to Timothy
Or the one Paul wrote to Colossae
As we soak in the words, as we're trying to seek
What these ancient scrolls first written in Greek
Mean today for my job, for my soul when it's weak
For my thoughts, for my heart, when I can't keep a streak
Up of anything good, I fail on repeat
But these mornings are here to keep reminding me
That there's always more space at the Lord's mercy seat

And I'm holding onto the promise
That God will finish what he started
Yeah, I'm holding onto the promise
That God will finish what he started
