~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the soul stirs from the silence,
Like tears, trembling with yearnings,
So deep, so powerful, flowing soundlessly,
On rivers of muted reflections, intimate…
on hearts, resting, remembering, resulting
in melodies, tunes – songs of healing and hope,
destinies rising from the aftermath of a storm,
where the darkness feels like the night, prolonged…
in fearfulness, shuddering with unease, apprehensive,
like the moments before the war, the dread, the futility,
wandering through the nights, stars – spontaneous light,
broken sighs on the verge of a curse, cleverly coloring…
each whisper in glory, blessing away the spirit of doubt,
remembering that pride was the sin that left heaven,
on the hearts who were destined for hell, for inferno,
blazing beyond what our souls can describe…
for we yearn to believe, without seeing,
the direction of the light’s seeking,
the heart, the soul, the spirit’s hope…
heaven, where we will know the Prince of Peace,
the One who created the world and the giver
of light, softest hopes and dreams, stunning
wonders beyond any words, beyond poetry…
so bold, we see the mountains moved,
by the fallen – those who melt in the blaze,
a destiny that only the unbelieving shall face,
a darkness that is, without doubt, the worst place.
I have determined that hell seeks the faithful,
And those who just can’t see the everlasting
Truth, that the soul is God’s invaluable light,
Bringing hope to the ones who don’t understand….
He is risen – He is bidding hearts to repent
To turn around – away from sin and the wrong,
That yearns to cover the soul in such muck
Mess up lives and destroy hopes with the smallest sins…
He is risen – and when we do what He intends,
Just repent and turn from the sin that ruins lives,
Trust the love that God Himself brings to us,
Invite Him to live in the heart, where we must…
See that Jesus is the answer to every fear,
Jesus is the peace that silences each tear,
Jesus is the reason that I’ll always believe,
Jesus is the One who came to live in me,
Changing me from dark to light,
Changing me from wrong to right,
Changing me so that love lives inside,
Changing me so that I’ve lost my pride….
Jesus changed me so much that I can’t decide…
If I’m still the soul who clung to the sins in my life,
Because, now that He saved me… I’ve learned
Forever is the song that colors me in hope,
Forever is the love that makes everything alright.
Forever is the One who sought me out,
Poured faith through my spirit,
Changed my pride to humility…
He restored me to the one God knew…
Will stand for the Son who made all things new,
I’ll stand for the love that told me the truth…
Jesus is alive and He’s changed dark to light,
He’s taken all the wrong and brought His right,
He’s made me into someone that knows the meaning of spiritual sight!
My soul will always speak of the glory, so alive,
Inside the one who knows – Jesus and eternal life!
