God will come and wrap His arms around you
It wouldn’t be too much for Him to love you as He found you
It may seem like you’re too far gone
But He loves you like His only Son
He will come

-Mandisa

HURT!

February 22, 2016Leave a comment

I’ve never felt so much pain in my life before
I stood motionless as I watched the dust, the debris rise and fall
My father, my son, my very soul forever lost at the sound of that bomb

There is no more hope
Just pain
Pain I can’t live without
Pain I cannot begin to understand.

I’ve never felt this much anger
My heart beats and pounds against my ribs like a wild beast wary of its cage
The flames glared before me and within yet there was no place for fear
Just raw, lethal anger gnawing at my consciousness
There is no more peace; just anger

Anger I do not wish to quell
Anger not soon to quench
No more wishes, no more hope
No more thinking, no more words
Just this maddening silence
Me and my pen fighting to have it all make sense

My mind is all but lost
My body beyond hurt
My spirit is ignored
I only wish someone could hear me
I only wish someone could save me
I only wish for someone anyone
That could take it all away

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:4-5(KJV)

Reborn!

Sometimes when we cry
It’s not the hurt done us
That moves these rivers from our eyes
It is the pain that hides behind our hurt
Inside our hearts

We know there must be a solution
But oh how we wished we never had to seek one
So we cry and let go of our emotions
Maybe we can stop this pain maybe we can feel warm
Inside our hearts

No matter how crazy, I weep and smile
Because even though I’m hurt I have hope
Many say ‘tis not so much but a fairy-tale, a rhyme
Yet my tears are reborn to joy in Jesus
Inside my heart
