In Heavens Eyes

You descended down from the Heavens in a hurry,
You heard my cries, Oh Lord.
As a child weeps in the arms of her father,
You wrapped your arms around me and wiped away my tears. 
You held onto me tight with your peace comforting my soul.
You held my hand, and as I looked up to You,
I saw heaven in Your eyes,
And You showered me with your unconditional love.
You began to speak to me,
And your voice was like a thousand harpist playing-
Such a warm peaceful voice I heard. 
I listened with open ears and a open heart.
As you said to me,
"Why do you cry, my child?
Do I not fill you with peace in times of despair?
Do I not shower you with blessings in time of need?
And do I not protect you when enemies try to harm you?"
I listened some more as he continued to say, 
"Do I not command the sun to rise golden at the dawn 
And bless you with a new day?
Do I not send  birds your way to sing a love song 
That I had just for you ?
And do I not send the rain pouring out to wash away the land 
As I had poured out my blood upon you to wash away your sins?"
I did not know what to say! 
At that moment, I knew my fathers promise.
Than he put out his hand as I reached to grab it,
I felt the Glory of my creator descend upon me 
Just the same way he descended from the heavens into my soul.
I felt my burdens being melted away-
I felt the stabbing pain from a broken heart being healed
With Gods warm love like sweet honey. 
I felt joy and peace like none other. 
I knew my father was going to take care of everything. 
Then, the skies in blue and silver opened up once more
As I saw my Saviour rise into the heavens 
With his heavenly creatures-The angels!
I was left with utter peace; my Saviours mercy fell upon me!
I praised my and Glorified his magnificent name!
For with The Lord as my protector,
No fear will dare fall, no pain dare enter my heart. 
There is not a thing that can harm me. 
Not a devil who can scare me ! 
Because my saviour left me a promise.
All I need to do is look into 
Heavens Eyes.
