In the shadows of my heart I feel the shame growing, strengthening Itself through the memories of a past Where I just didn’t grasp the meaning of His Grace His love and His kindness, His mercy So inspiring… In the shadows of my heart I feel like I should just give up, but where Oh where could I go… Even in doubt, even in despair, even in dishonor He is my only answer. He is the only way He is the where who I embrace when I can’t see Past the fears and tears, through the darkness That seems like it will never lift, - feels like I will Never see the light of the SON, THE SON The MOST BEAUTIFUL SON! In the shadows of my heart I feel the humiliation of my own jealousies, My own fears, my own dishonor and indignity Destroying my hopes and dreams, discrediting Me, my belief… oh, please – Savior, beautiful SON Shine down through my soul, bless me with Your love, Silence the doubts, the sorrows, the destroyer… Who comes to kill and wreck the beautiful that Will never fade, the beautiful that is the way to see Into the spirit of those who believe HE IS THE LIGHT He is the King! He is the reason for everything – He is the SON who lights up my soul! In the shadows – there are sorrows untold, Fears that I’ve never spoken, tears that have never Fallen – yet, when I remember Him, the SON Who abides with me, through every dark place, Through every disgrace… I remember this LOVE That gives meaning to the word – JESUS! In the shadow of my heart, I know SOMEONE Who casts away every hurt and brings me into the light, Where I can finally see – He is brighter than the sun, More beautiful than the moon – He silences every hurt He is the ONE who brings me hope, faith and love He is the only REASON I seek Him, overcome with the knowledge That HIS LOVE abides through every shadow, every fear WITH HIM, I can face the worst there is with the assurance That WITH HIM, I will never be without a prayer Because of Him, my intercessor, my prayers are met With God’s acceptance! I love HIM more than I can say – with love that never doubts or fades Thank YOU, Jesus.. for everything!
