Poem Title:
Poem
He stills the moments, as my heart rests Soothed, comforted, blessed He colors my dreams, my hopes, my prayers In springtime joy, summer beauty Autumn’s spice and wintery delight He balances the music of my life Healing, easing, stirring A breathless wind, in the shadows of the night Where the darkness clings to the last fading of light He whispers peace through my spirit, Silencing my fears, mopping up my tears, Gentling the feelings who burn through the years Reflecting impressions that blaze like glistening stars, Brilliant, glowing, destroying the muddled with solace He listens when my prayers are selfless And when they are selfish too He is kind like the greatest love, the best gestures As if His purpose were to settle my doubts, Destroy my dread and make a way through the regrets Make a way through shame, grief and fiercest distress He knows me way better than I know myself He sees through my wants, to my needs Casts out the greediness for a generosity that believes He lets me – even when my flaws are showing So that when the time comes, He can forgive me For all those sins and failures that keep me from growing He sees through my strength, to the weakness He sees past the smile, to the wounds He sees beyond the faintest bleakness, to that spark of hope He sees the stirrings of grace, covering my hurts He sees the way to make everything turn out ok He sees the me who still prays… Jesus, please help me… When I can’t pray those powerful prayers, The ones where my words seem suitable and sure, The ones where my heart is poured out for His encouragement The ones where my soul seems to just know What to say, how to pray, come what may…. When I just can’t pray, I can still say… Jesus, please help me… Until I can find my way, until I know the prayer to pray, Until Your love has calmed with the faith that will remain Because You are the reason that, whatever the season, I know that I can sincerely say – You are the living grace, You are the solution to my every challenge You are the wonder within every wonderful thing. You are the courage that leads me to take a chance. You are the love that lives in this heart that You made! Thank You, Jesus… for the grace, the faith that saves!
