Ohh, to be a squirrel,
Chit, chit, chittering away,
Laughing at me as they work while they play.
Ohh, to be a woodpecker,
Knock, knock, knocking all day,
Tapping out a song as he works away.
Ohh, to be a songbird,
Flit, flit, flittering in play,
While singing their song to welcome the day.
Ohh, to be human,
Tap, tap, tapping away,
Lost in their phones as the day passes away....
My Child...
Why are you crying, calling out silently?
What is your burden?
Won't you give it to me?
I'll shoulder the load and I'll pick up my cross,
I'll carry the pain and not count the cost,
As I do this for you...
As I do it for you...
My Child, I love you,
My Child, I see you.
I made you, created you, I know all you go through..
My Child...... I'm here for you.
Ohh Father I know this, I trust that you love me,
I do......
But I am so broken, so lost and unknowing
That I.......
Just. Can't. See...
That I...
Just. Can't. Breathe.
My Father I need you.
My Father I love you too...
You made me, created me,
And I know that you love me too...
This weight that I carry is so freaking heavy
But I
Lay. It. Down.
And I pick up my crown....
Because YOU.....
Glorious wonderful YOU....
YOU shouldered the load and
You picked up my cross...
You carried my burdens,
No matter the cost.
Jesus, You.....
Jesus, You.....
You shoulder our burdens no matter the cost,
You carry our loads and You carry our cross...
Jesus, You.....
Jesus, You.....
Untangle my nerves, Lord.
Untangle my heart.
I need the healing
Only You can impart.
Break down my barriers, Lord.
Break open my soul.
Heal me so deeply,
I understand whole.
Breathe life into me, Lord.
Breathe life and renew
All that's broken inside me
And make me brand new.
Show me Your way, Lord.
Show me Your Love,
Your hope everlasting,
And grace from above.
A life of chronic pain
is so very hard to explain.
You laugh, you cry,
You scream and wonder why
This life you live,
It just doesn't give.
It takes and it takes
Until you simply break.
It's up and it's down-
It turns you all around.
You're happy, you're sad.
At times, you're downright mad.
But you live and you learn.
You grow and you yearn
For the simple things,
The joy life brings,
And the love He shows
Through the ebb and flow.
Grief.
It pushes you around,
Knocks you to the ground,
And kicks you in the teeth.
Grief.
It takes you by surprise,
As the tears flood your eyes
Til you can no longer see.
Grief.
It breaks you apart,
Crushes your heart.
Your life becomes the tragedy.
Grief.
Unable to breathe,
Unable to speak.
Unable to hear your own self think.
Grief.
Unbearable, unfathomable.
Totally unimaginable
Until it's unstoppable.
Grief.
Bending and breaking you,
Effectively shaking you.
Aching, you beg for a breakthrough...
Grief.
A breath, a sigh.
A tear wiped from your eye.
By a savior who knows..
Grief.
The healing begins.
The feeling returns.
But deep within your heart still yearns.
Grief.
Blame steps in,
Then shame and anger, too.
Our Savior whispers, I've got you.
Grief.
You breathe deep,
Knowing it's true..
Even in this, He's got you.
I sit in pain
And pray and pray
For God to take
It all away.
But He says no,
It's not time.
That's your plan,
It's not Mine.
You must wait,
And trust My way,
Heed My call
And just obey.
My Love is true
And lightweight, too.
It's always here,
Waiting for you
To turn to Me
So that you see
The Glory
That it's meant to be.
They say
Silence is golden.
But why not
Emboldened?
You hear all you need
When the silence
Bleeds.
The quiet drowns out
Every sound.
The heart beats louder
When no one's around.
You breathe in deeper...
Directed...
Introspective.
Your focus is greater.
The world beats in tune.
The insects and birds sing along to the groove.
You see His hand
In everything that surrounds you.
As you all breathe in
The glory around you.
His grace. His mercy.
Screaming so loud.
When you finally, finally
Drown out the sound.
