Breaking His heart so many times
Stab after stab, wound after wound
Telling myself I wasn’t the one, who crucified Him,
What I didn't know living how I did
Cut through His heart deeper with every sinful thought
Turning my gaze unto the world not wanting to watch Him suffer
Not wanting to see the truth
Shutting my eyes, covering my ears
Not waiting to believe
It was I shouting Crucify Him!
Forgiving me
His loving gentle eyes filled with sadness
Tears escaping His beautiful piercing eyes
Body tortured so much blood He lost
But still not giving up for my salvation
Gaze turned to Heaven thinking only of me
Wanting only to save me
Wipe away the suffering of this earth, hold me back from evil
Shelter me from the pain
Wanting to give me eternal life not torment in the darkness pit of fire
Light never growing dim within His heart
Not wanting to accept His gift; His offer of Himself for myself
Not waiting to give up the worldly temptations
Blindly wanting what the World had to offer me
When all it has is hatred and lies
Surrounding with sin from every corner
Looking for love in all the wrong places
My life became one empty hole
Sadness and loneliness befriended me
My life had no meaning to it or so the devil wanted me to believe
My soul became lifeless; weaker and weaker
Darker and colder my life became;
Eyes no longer seeing the light; heart giving up on living
Wanting to give the battle up
Not seeing myself how God created me
In His image
Seeing a locked gate with no way out
It was too late to turn my life around
Too late for forgiveness and love
Needing a change within myself
Wanting to hear the truth
Weary of living a lie
Thirsty for love
My hunger no longer satisfied
Knowing in my heart change must come
Or forever lost my soul will be
My clock would strike 'The End'
Reality not a novel
No eternal life but death
Prayer my Heavenly Father heard
Dearest parent's prayers were answered
Knocking gently but with strength
Firmer and louder
Feeling the beating hearing the thumping of my heart
Tears of shame overtook, seeing my life with new eyes
What happened to the innocent girl I once was
Why did I turn out like this when I was raised in a Christian home
I didn't want to die like this; I wanted to live
I wanted a second chance
I couldn’t take no for an answer
No more! I made a promise
With air in my lungs; and beating in my heart
No longer will I live for this World but for God
No matter how hard this worldly battle will be
I'll stand firm in Jesus Christ
In Faith of a loving Father
Guidance from my good friend the Holy Spirit
My new home with the promise of eternal life is waiting
My citizenship is in Heaven not on Earth
A miracle of love and forgiveness saved my soul
Living this life with a new purpose
Hungry to bring a change
Wanting to shout of God’s love
No longer quiet I'll be
Jesus Christ died not just for my salvation
He died for you as well! He died for us all
He washed away our sins with His blood
Took away our pain with His wounds
What more of proof must you need
His love for us is much bigger than anything the
Devil has for us!
Time to overlook your life
Accept God’s gift of salvation
Or die and suffer forever!
