Your Story Matters

~II

I failed a lot of people

My children suffered the most

When I think of it, I grieve

My heart is broken

~

No one knows the depth of hurt

That another one may feel

Only One knows and can heal

Our deep brokenness

~

I arise to live

Embracing a new worldview

Forgiveness made real

Kindness and mercy given

To all who believe it

~

Keeping perspective

On the task of living well

Is a major work

~

Each person has a story

They need to be considered

Know that their life has meaning

They count for something

~ 

A light came that day

Coming from the wilderness

His words with his healing touch

And a new day dawned

~ 

What is it I need to hear

I have no greater calling

You call me your son

~  

I know your blessing

You already gave it to me

I arise with fire

To fulfill your purposes

To live today with your joy
