Expression of the heart
Sometimes the seasons of life we go through can be very painful and spoken words one to the other we cannot express, only words that seem to flow when written bring meaning to the soul. Here is a poem that a member of our team has written.
There is a new expression within my heart today
Even many words I cannot recount or say
Sometimes so silent, yet so real
Crying out for you Lord to come and heal
Any yet I always know You are there
Holding me close with every prayer
Even as the world watches me, you shall be my light
As I recount many of those bruised, broken, victorious fights
Even as the world watches me, it may look like I stand alone
But I know You watch over me, my Lord, He watches over me
These expressions within my heart
Are often hidden, yet so hard to reveal
Just like the light reflecting from the sea
You see this distorted picture I’ve painted of me
Rays of dust may fall all around
Shaken from the place where they once use to be
In the walls of my heart, the world cannot see
Painful expressions now shared between You and me
It’s those beautiful memories that will set me free
The world may laugh and judge me still
But my hearts desire remains Lord to do Your will
Life may sometimes seem to stop
The onward journey no longer a simple trot
And the busyness of life now comes to a halt
Uncertainties arise, nothing seems clear
Yet an inner acceptance and comfort calms all fear
You are here
I see the battle for the beggar, homeless on the streets
It’s even a battle for the Good Samaritan to stop when he sees no shoes on his feet
There’s always a selfishness that fills us inside
And often the one who’s spiritual and on fire for God whom we despise
And yet even the world can see this great divide
Between brother and sister and even the wise
It’s like a message in a bottle floating out to sea
Tossed and blown by the wind, found in that new place it will be
And when it is opened someone shall see
That there is life in the depths of the ocean
More than on the surface of the sea
Yet these expressions in my heart, I’m so afraid to reveal
So often ashamed of my life, yet through it someone He can heal
All locked up in this emotional world of my own
Hemmed in with a painful aching and a silent groan
Just like fragments, life seems to lie in ruins
Like scattered seeds sown on infertile ground
I know my life shall take shape when He turns me around
The pieces will fit back in new places and the bigger picture I will see
As the world watches me, His promise made
I will live in You and you in me
