John 14:18 (KJV) “I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.”
You’re the One who refused to leave
When my heart was desperate, dark and dim
Afraid that I would never know the love
That once embraced my soul, carried me
Through the fears, the tears and the years
When my feelings lay broken beneath the sorrows,
When my heart lay wrecked beneath the grief,
When, everywhere I turned…
There were doubts and betrayals, enemies
Like worry and wailing, mourning for the moments
When I had known a love that soared through the skies,
Lingering in my heart, embracing my thoughts…
Yes, once – there lived a love inside that was like light,
Tender and insightful, a knowing that colored me bright,
Ignited my yearnings, the burning that follows me
Reminding me why I am alive, to love without giving in
To the fears, the tears, the years that seek to dissuade….
Feelings so kind, so wonderful and dreamy, like a breathe
Silencing the dark, repairing the heart, restoring the light –
Like a beautiful that believes, even when there is grief,
Belief that binds my feelings, wraps me in the miracles
Love that knows the music, the harmonic rhythms – beating
Away all the worries and fears, reassuring all my hopes –
Abiding with me, where I finally know…
It is love – love sent down from above, through His kindness
His grace, seeing me through the doubts and disdain,
Reminding me to listen to His voice – His still, small voice…
Murmuring hope, faith and love into my soul, inspiring me
To remember the music that blends with my tears and reassures
Me – there is a song that only He can play, a song that only
He can expose – it is a secret tune, the tune of faith and truth,
The song that invites the singer to know the One who writes
The music, the beautiful, the tenderness in each breathe,
In each prayer and each promise…
He remains the music for my soul, always playing, always crooning
Like my heart who knows that He is love – my heart who knows
He came down from above to give us a hope and a future, a promise
Of what is to come – when we seek Him, we are pursuing our one true love!
