Answers for Souls



“Some prayers are followed by silence because they are wrong, others because they are bigger than we can understand.” - Oswald Chambers

On a dark and lonely road,
She walked with purpose, she walked
So only those who saw her shadow
Knew the light that walked to guide her.

She was young. 
Her soul was old.
She knew lonely like it had always been here.
She knew the shadows who were always sincere.
She knew the blackness of a doubt she could hear.

On a quiet twilight, spoken
Words who flow from those who know
What it means to see through the stars,
Glittering songs, glistening hopes, dreams
So intense, so strong, they actually weep…. On and on

She was young but she was old
Where she lived was yet unknown
Her heart was wild like the rising sun.
Her soul felt lost, without a real home.

On a distant story she foretold
The whispering grace of One so bold,
A gentle touch, a grace bringing love
He was the answer to her soul’s burning,
The reason she came to believe in the hope,
The reason He came… she was the one, lost
And alone, longing for the glimmer of His star.

She was young but from the beginning 
Her heart realized she had a choice, a reason
The purpose of her life, choosing this season
To put away the dark and seek the light
In her silhouette, His love was born…

She sought the One that was the Meaning of love
She found the hope that was the reason she could hope
She renewed her faith and discovered the meaning of grace.
She left the past and began to praise….

The meaning of a love that never fades…
He came to save – Oh, yes – He is the Savior
And because He gave His life, His grace
She learned that love became the only answer.
Love came to the soul who opened its door…
To the One who is known as God’s only Son,
The One who brings love to every soul who seeks Him.

Merry Christmas, with love
Never stop seeking God’s Son!
