Oh Heart!

Heart why do you cry
And in darkness lie
Barely beating
Broken and torn
Crushed and bruised
Why do you wear worthlessness as your cloak
Fear as your bonnet
Why is your head bowed low
No hope in your eyes
I see
Your hands are scarred from holding and caring
Only to be rejected and turned away
Your eyes are swollen
A river of tears you have cried
Your mouth is bruised
Unspoken thoughts, unformed words
Sweet as honey has now turned bitter
You deserve so much more!
A healing touch
A kind word
One who can rip off your cloak
Throw off your bonnet
Lift your head
Revealing the diamond underneath
One who will fill your empty hands
Wipe the river from your eyes
And take honey from your lips
You deserve so much more!
But you do not believe me
Oh you do not believe me
So in darkness you lie
In fear you remain

Save Me! Help Me! Pick Me!

I can barely breathe Tears roll down my cheeks Unanswered questions Unmet expectations Dashed hopes All leave me senseless Words you spoke haunt me Save me! The darkness is closing in Save me! The fire is burning Save me! I am drowning Drowning in sorrow My strength is drained My resolve is weak My voice is mute Help me! As I face the giant before me Help me! As I struggle to stand Help me! To know that I am not alone I am not alone I cannot do this on my own A rag doll slumped in the corner Pick me up Hold me tight Protect me in your arms Want me  Fill me with joy Pick me! Out of all the toys in the store Pick me! Breathe life into me! I will dance  I will sing for you Call me by name Make me yours Forever You have bought me with a price I am yours I am yours You have picked me!

My Cry

Dear Lord, Help me When the pain is crushing And the tears threaten to spill  When rage and jealousy consumes me Quiet me with your love Do not allow hatred to destroy me And take residence in my heart Help me to see beyond my pain To what you are doing Give me your eyes to see my circumstances The fire that is refining me Though painful, will make me pure Though i feel as if i cannot go on When waves of doubt and fear threaten to drown me Help me to know that you will not leave me in my weakness That in my weakness you are my strength I am not alone Your hand is ready to grasp mine Your strong arm is not too short to save You are carrying me through this storm Help me to be secure in your love for me Secure in my identity in you Help me to love those who crush me To show kindness and compassion To those who plot my downfall Help me to walk in your light Allow me to experience your love To know without a doubt Your a...

I Look to You

When grief is a drowning ocean I look to you When my world is in turmoil I look to you When my shattered heart refuses to beat I look to you When pain is my constant companion I look to you When sorrow is my food I look to you When tears freely fall I look to you When anguish threatens to tear apart I look to you When the future is bleak I look to you When happiness and joy have lost their way I look to you When peace is an elusive memory I look to you When fear and uncertainty whisper I look to you When memories start fading I look to you When the strength to get out of bed has vanished I look to you When regrets torment me  I look to you When the longing swells within I look to you When hopelessness abounds I look to you I look to you My rock and my salvation My fortress and refuge My ever present help in times of trouble The rock I cling to The hope that will not fail I look to you I trust in you
