May He speak the words
That none could say
And touch your heart
Like a miracle
Today
Wrapping you closer
Than anyone could
And healing your soul
Like you’ve dreamed
He would
May you find rest
In His embrace
Filled with joy
Righteousness & grace
May you dwell
In His House
For all your days
A little girl
Grew up one day
And through the years
Forgot to pray
It seemed so simple
How much did it change?
When God already
Had it all arranged?
Her heart drifted down
Wide paths that were new
And how quickly the past
Slipped from her view
She began to wonder
Is His love still true?
Was there hope for her
Though hope was not due?
She longed for her
Innocent
Childlike
Faith
When she knew God
And she knew
She was safe
She closed her eyes
Could she still pray?
Would He listen to her
After she’d run away?
So many sins
Her heart did bear
And yet she knew
That God still cared
Surely He was still out there
She whispered
Her prayer
Into the breeze
And hoped
It would drift
Higher than the trees
She closed her eyes
And gently breathed
The fresh air of early spring
She heard a bird
Begin to sing
And the laughter of children
In the distance ring
The years began to come undone
Every sin she’d committed
Overcome
By the precious blood
Of Her Savior’s love
Born again
From above
She felt what she hadn’t
Felt in years
God’s presence once again drew near
And washed away
Her guilt and fear
The future looked so bright and clear
Much the like the childhood
She held so dear
Yet life could not be the same
The lessons she learned
Had shaped her faith
She knew
The depth
The height
And length
The love of God
None can equate
She found His endless
Gift of grace
A little girl
Came home to stay
And here her story
Will grow each day
As she bows her head
And humbly prays
Dear God
I’m Your
Little girl
Always
When fear
Hits the ground
Faith takes flight
And daylight
Conquers
The dark of night
In the quiet
When I’m alone
It’s here
With my Savior
That I am home
Here
Where peace
Wraps my soul
Here
Where my joy
In Him is full
Here
In the quiet
I rest in His plan
As I walk beside Him
Led
By His hand
He knows the future
I cannot see
And every way
I’m incomplete
He knows the questions
I do not speak
Every doubt
That’s hidden beneath
He knows my heart
Tattered and worn
Every sin I’ve committed
Since I was born
He knows every secret
Every dream
Every fear
He knows every longing
Every thing I hold dear
He knows me completely
Inside and out
Though
There’s things I wish
He didn’t know about
Yet
In His presence
He makes me new
And wipes my shame
From His view
What kind of love
Could this be?
Except the matchless
Love of the King
Who gives this gift
To all who’ll receive
He knows who I am
I am redeemed
To the dear couples who have shown me the meaning of true love, and the importance of prayer in finding it. This poem is inspired by you.
What a peace
It is to know
That I’m praying
For you
And you’re praying
For me
Whether we’ve met
Or not
One day
We’ll meet
If it’s the Father’s plan
We’ll see
That love comes through prayer
And through prayer
We’ll keep
Strong
And true
Through whatever may be
Faith is the anchor
That holds
You and me
