There was a moment, not so long ago
When my heart was rusty,
Tarnished by the darkness of pain,
Eroded by the doubt, the dread,
Fear that erased the light of faith,
Corroded the wonders, the joy
With despair that can’t be absolved
By tears that won’t wash away
The past, the loss, the ruin – slaying
Feelings, dreams, anticipation
There was a moment, not so long ago
When I didn’t know what it means
To feel satisfied by the miracle of grace
Releasing thoughts from the ache,
Rousing the heart to find escape
From destruction, disaster, decay
Debris from the stars, fallen into a black
So deep, so overwhelming that there is only
Shadow to erase the moon’s breath,
Silhouettes written by grief
…. to burn off the spent rubble
Where love had scorched and blistered
In twinkles, glistening like the reflection
From starlight, sunlight, moonlight
Glowing from heaven, such a beautiful
Sight to behold, shining hope – so calming
There was a moment, not so long ago
When I felt like I was haunted by the futility
Of all the questions, disbelief, imperfections
But now…
I have found the sweetness,
The miracle of an elation so alive,
Pleasure so inviting – vibrant and smiling
Silencing every suspicion, every worry…
With a hope, a promise
Brought to life by the One who gentles
The shock, relieves the broken heart,
Promises the weary spirit… that He can purify
With His mercy and grace – love that is
All knowing… all gracious – like the fire burning
Away the desperate, filling the soul with
Miracles, beauty, wonders that inspire me
To listen to His insights, His reminders…
That love is forever alive,
Forever moving – a joy and a peace
Like nothing we’ve ever seen…
His love is the whole reason for believing
In the song that leaves the soul dancing
The music that lasts through the past’s questions,
Encouraging the light – so alive, breathtaking
His love is surely the reason for every hope,
The purpose of every thought, the intention
For every yearning – the wisdom that keeps my heart
Believing in the One who thought me, made me…
Gave to me the blessing of His love and grace,
The miracle of a hope that is filled with endless faith
Then I was unconvinced… Now I know He is here…
The power beneath my feet, my breath, my dream
He is, absolutely, the answer to my every need,
The reply to each prayer I pray – the promise that I
Can always say – Love will find a way – love will stay!
