Inner Peace

Your Word says 'I Love You.'

But I am blocked and resistant,

I cannot feel You through my pain.

Your Word says 'Trust Me.'

But I ache and hold onto the blame.

I slide on firm ground

Fighting the urge to flee.

You tell me You won't hurt me

But I have yet to feel that truth,

You promise me a future

But that fails to soothe

As I flail in the deep waters of life.

Look to Me you say...

Look at the cross.

Look at My scars

And the tears that I cried.

Me! Your Lord and Saviour

It was for you that I died!

I see you My child.

Give Me your pain.

And when you cry out

'Please God not again!'

I hear you.

I see you.

I feel your sadness, guilt and shame.

One day you will see Me

And sit by My side.

I will restore you.

And those tears that you have cried,

Will water a garden;

Filled with poppy and rose,

With graceful iris and fragrant peony,

Under sun filled sky of Azure blue.

And the ocean that soothes

Your broken soul

Will bring a bouquet of joy

As you finally, finally let go

And ascend your place.

Sweet Child of Mine,

I Love You
