Your Story Matters

*

I will meet with you alone
There is no greater moment
Than being in your presence
The secret treasure

*

You delivered me
From the bonds of slavery
A prison inside

*

My heart demands perfection
I can never measure up
To be able to please all
It’s impossible

*

So I stand guilty
Behind the bars of performing
Looking for affirmation
So someone will see
I am a person of worth
My grief and losses scream out

*

I have hidden faults
Secret ones that condemn me
I can’t measure up
Beliefs about me are a lie
I keep looking for relief

*

I found in silence
Behind the condemnation
The noise of judgment stopped cold
When I looked in eyes
Of the Creator of life
Who showed me that He loved me

*

Stillness is so hard
Because my own heart condemns me
I need to be held
Comforted like a small child
Held in the arms of my friend

*

I found this unseen love
In stillness God came to me
I focused on His dear son’s
Compassionate love

*

He knows each of us
With understanding He comes
He has chosen you
Knows your name and your pain
Says, “Your are my Beloved”

*

I could be right about this
“You are Special and Beloved”
I’m not talking religion
But relationship

*

Friendship that’s deep and lasting
A friend who will never leave
A joy that’s unspeakable
Love that cherishes

*

This secret treasure
Is for all those who seek truth
Who decide to fight
Begin by caring for self
Take responsibility

*

I have found the light
My soul searched with compassion
And the message, “I love you”
Comes with knowledge
Understanding the story
That God became a human

*

I sing “Silent Night”
The reason for the Season
In stillness He comes

*
