The Song of my Heart

Good morning, friends,

When I woke up this morning, I realized I was a little later waking than usual. That usually makes me feel discouraged right away. But, lately, there's been a little something going on between God and I and He's been very gracious to me concerning rest and the ability to manage my time effectively; not even forgetting as much as usual. So, I was feeling quite refreshed and at peace....and literally having a song in my heart...or a poem...or psalm...whatever you like to call it. Either way, I sang as I wrote it on paper and it is from my heart to the Lord; that is always beautiful to Him. And, this is probably a rough draft, also; I tend to rewrite and edit my writings over and over before they are truly completed. So, here is version one of the song I woke up singing this morning:

                      The Song of my Heart

     It is so beautiful to me:
        A love song wrapped around great mystery!
     We worship -we adore- what we've never seen;
        Our eyes light up with wonder as we imagine our King.
     We can't see Him today, but He's coming again;
        We will reign with Him forever, our Savior and Friend.

     Now, that is a love song- so sacred and true;
        His love is eternal-no one can take that from you!

                                  And, as for me:

     My heart, it was hollow; just broken apart,
         But, at His feet I found mercy; my life, a new start.
     He gave me shelter under His might wing,
         He brought me to life and with joy I sing!

                                 Jesus (You are so perfect)

      I am desperately weak, but You've made me bold,
          So I can rise above any darkness that may unfold.
      Your perfect love cast out my many fears,
          I wait for Your voice with ever anxious ears.
     With my heart wide open, I long for Your calling;
          Your mighty hand keeps my weak heart from falling.
      Life in Your presence is my heart's greatest desire;
          You filled my heart with purpose and set it on fire!
      I won't be silenced; I sing Your praises wherever I go:
          Your love and Your Word are the only hope I know.
      I am one of Your chosen; honored to obey Your command:
          I will sing of Your hope and spread Your Word throughout the land:

               Your love is the answer to the depravity of man!


The Lord has been really moving in my life and revealing many things to me...and to many of my close friends. God is opening doors, breaking chains, and restoring His people. Every day I wake up wondering what will happen, what will God do or show me...it is wonderful to be filled with hope and have great expectations in the life He has planned for me and my family. I can remember, and pray I never forget, what it was like to have no real purpose or feeling of significance; to wander around aimlessly with no hope or expectation of any greater things coming. Life was a routine, a mere day to day existence. Now, I have the joy of Jesus, the passion to serve Him faithfully and with my whole heart. I wait for His leading me to new places to serve Him. He is my heart's desire. He saved me from darkness and brought me into His light; I will never stop telling every person that I have the opportunity to speak to about the power of His love and desire and ability to deliver anyone from any bondage and break the heaviest chains that exist: He is mighty and there is none other like Him because He is the only true and living God! If you are a Christian and you don't have wonderful things that you are just overcome by and overwhelmed by His goodness; even left in wonder about how His hand touched your heart...if you aren't excited to tell people about His awesome power in your life, then pray. He has all these promises for you to claim and there is no reason why every believer shouldn't be proclaiming, with excitement, God's goodness towards them. I pray we all meditate upon our lives and be forever grateful for and aware of God's amazing grace that saved us. I know my life was dead until He came into my completely surrendered heart and made me alive in Him. He is more than words can describe; He is incomprehensible.

God bless you all and I pray He does mighty things in your life <3

P.S. This poem is a great milestone for me because I have not written a poem in a long time and I began writing poetry when I was 11 years old. However, my poetry has always be very depressing and its content always consisting of the negative emotions of the tumultuous times in my life. While those have been great masterpieces (in my eyes anyway)  :)  , and they tell, in great depth, of the struggles my heart had to contend with for over 20 years...I only want to give God glory in all I do, even writing. So, I am so glad to present the first poem/song that I have written that is giving God praise, adoration, and glory <3 It may not be the best, but God loves it and I know it is only the first of many......
