Like a Cut

Like a cut
The pain would not go.
It hurt so bad
And healed so slow.
Heartache's disguise...
A plastic smile.
Even one inch
Felt like a mile.
Stinging
A salty tear fell in my wound.
But a whisper
"It will be over soon."
Give me strength...
Enough to stand.
Through wet eyes
I saw a gentle hand.
"Get up"
Said a soft and tender voice.
"I can help you
Remember, it's your choice."
Though it felt of
pain and anguish,
It's what I wanted...
What I wished.
And like a cut
It's finally gone.
Yes I can say
Goodbye, so long.

Life

Sometimes it's a picture

Sometimes it's a song

Sometimes it's a memory

But mostly it's just that star

At first my heart just tingles

But then it stars to break

When I remember all the pain

Of when you let it break

It doesn't take much

I remember it like yesterday

The swinging and laughing

The walks and the talks

The raspberry picking and water fights

The 5am sunrise

It's funny how the heart doesn't remember the bad times

So I will trust in my Savior

For I have learned your very name is to go down...to descend

And HIS name brings LIFE

And I will choose LIFE.

When they saw the star, they were overjoyed

[Matthew 2:10]

To seek you and be overjoyed

Is this my heart?

Traveling miles to fill the void

Where do I start?

Humbled, helpless, yet King of kings

You love me

You're worth more than all other things

You are lovely

I know the truth still I search

What am I thinking?

For things of only temporal worth

I turn from You, hardly blinking

 

Of course I'd be left discontent

You alone can satisfy

I pray Father, will you relent?

Forgive me for trying to gratify

 

I'm looking to You

Not longing to be approved by men

Let me fall in love too

Captivate my soul again

 

To see you and be overjoyed

This I pray

Traveling miles to fill the void

Starts today
