I know

I can see the pain you try to hide
I see all the things you try to keep inside
I know all about your lonely heart
And how you feel like you’ve failed before your start

I know how worthless and empty you feel
When you search so hard but find nothing real
And I know how many tears you cried
When you felt like no one was one your side

You don’t realize yet, but I promise you this
Without you this world would be amiss
You’re beautiful beyond compare
When you give your all with nothing to spare

You feel that all your agony has no reason
But hold on, it’s almost your season
You’ll blossom and bloom to your heart’s content
You’re becoming the rose your pain has mend

-- God

wall

The world attacked and I couldn’t win.
It stood against me, and all my sin.
I built a wall, I made it strong.
Pushed friends away ‘til all were gone.
Now I’m protected, I have nothing to fear.
The world can’t touch me nor even come near.

I hear someone calling just outside the wall
It sounds inviting, should I answer the call?
“Go away! You are not welcome here!”
I can’t be weak, I won’t live in fear.
A powerful wall is all the world will see,
But on the inside loneliness becomes me.

The world is not a place where you can afford to be weak. But if you’re not willing to be vulnerable once in a while, no one will be able to get close to you. It can be very safe, but not much of a life. Consider letting people in, even if it makes you vulnerable.

heaven

I saw dark clouds part before my sight.

I stood in awe as heaven took form to my delight.

Unspoiled beauty as far as I could see

Blessed my heart for all eternity

I saw laughing children running around

I saw happy people lying on the ground.

I saw tender light that will never fade

And a majestic lion sleeping in the shade

I saw flowers as tall as trees,

I saw beautiful angels, bowing to their knees.

I saw mountains that never stopped

And I saw Jesus sitting on a rock.

I saw all this to my surprise...

The moment I looked into your eyes.
