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!
