Words of Your Heart

what if I told you
the words of your heart?
what if I reached down and plucked them
held them up for you to see?
would you like what you saw?
would you even know what you were looking at?
what if I told you that your words are beautiful
would you believe me?
what if its true?
I like your words
the ones that come from your heart
I like how they reveal who I made you to be
I love the tears that fall from your eyes,
the ones that bring healing and love
the tears, falling, healing,
the words, breaking, singing
thank you for saying the words of your heart
I'm the one that put them there.
-God

Beautiful Sister - A Song for Your Heart -


Broken hearts are slow to heal
ripped apart and left alone
touched and crushed
is nothing left?

Why, why? I want to know
but even now
I don't know what exactly I'm asking
God are you there?
I'm sure your listening
but sometimes I'm not sure you care

do you remember me?
Do you know the things I see?
do you hear the words I've never said
the ones I don't know what they mean?

how can I know you,
how can I trust,
you can help me sure, but can you help the ones I love?

I want to know your there, that something really matters
not just that you care, but that you have the power.
will you help me now? I'm not sure I want you
what if I say no, how could I still trust you?

Thank you that you listen, from up so high above
I am a part of your cosmos, but am I one you love?

Listen

How beautfiul is a world
in which there is so much suffering
so much sorrow
and yet children still smile

how preacious the beauty
of the simple flower
in a field of destruction

Listen to the music, the laughter
in the rain,
even in the midts of starvation and death
songs of the heart are heard

in bitter words there is kindness
in haunted eyes there is light
in sorrow weeping there is Joy
in a heart breaking there is life

never stop listening
never stop looking
never stop seeing
God in every man, woman, and child,
in every breath spoken, every word uttered
there is life, God's life
listen and you will hear His music in every heart
His light in every eye
His song in every mouth

because Jesus is Lord
all else doesn't matter, not compared to Jesus our Lord.

His is the light of our eyes and the song in our mouth
His is the world that we see, the words that we speak
His is the power to make all things new
and His is the power to reveal Himself in the midsts
of chaos.

When He is revealed, the chaos changes to order. Because He is there
and where the Lord is, there is freedom.

Let us rejoice!
