Notes About The Poem

Redeemed

Dear heart who I love,

Listen to your smile, your laugh
The comforting way you have of hoping
For the best, the light that inspires
Radiates on the hills and in the rivers
Awakening rainbows and healing
Fulfilling dreams and silencing fears
It is your smile, your laugh
That brightens the world for miles
For years!

Listen to your faith, your grace
The way you have of praying to Him
The Friend who answers eternally
With love that only grows stronger
Wonderful joy emerges from your spirit
As it lingers on the prayers you say
And ventures to reveal your whole heart
With a faith that is unspeakable, unbreakable
A faith that is wise and resilient and sure
A faith that bonds your soul to Him
God’s gift to quiet our worries 
And remind… we always have Him, our Friend

Listen to your hope as it sparks creativity
And joy and a song we can dance to, openly
With an abandon that reveals our sincerity
Our truth, the people we are when we give
Without even one ounce of reserve
Generously and with a purpose, a love 
That is alive and filled with passion
Coloring the inside in crimson blood
Flowing from the One who knows our souls
And lifts us up with assurance
That we have been saved from doubt
Saved from darkness – saved from iniquity
Saved to the uttermost, eternally, completely!

Listen to your thoughts, the ones I know
Remind you that you’re loved and good
You’re someone worthy of happiness and peace
A feeling of sanctity that comes from belief
Believing with a heart that knows
It is Jesus who leads you through this world
With a promise that He will always be there
Freeing you, completing you, bringing you
To the light that radiates even the wind
With grace, mercy, peace… a light that illuminates
The love that brings you to your knees
As you linger at Jesus feet, redeemed!
