Sometimes I run. Sometimes I hide.Sometimes I live with it all locked inside. But when I run to God in my brokenness, it's like lighting a dark room.
If we were perfect, would we still have a reason to turn to God? To run into His warm embrace?
I wrote this song a while ago, and it reminds me of what is happening in my heart.
My head is lifted to the sun.
There's no where to hide, no where to run.
I'm totally held by what I've done.
There's feelings of heartache and of pain,
Don't know what to do with all this shame,
Don't You know I'm crying out?
And You said...
"Yes I hear your every cry.
Don't you know that's why I died?
To give you peace, to give you life.
You can come and run to me,
Child I'm here I'll set you free.
All these day's are meant for joy."
My heart was captured by You!
This peace I now feel comes from truth.
I can feel You near.
Every mountain top that I tread,
Every hour I lie awake in my bed,
I can feel You near.
My head is lifted to the sun.
I now have a place to hide and run.
No longer held by what I've done.
There's feelings of fullness and of grace,
And all of this shame, it had a place.
I cried out and You stayed near.
And You said...
"You have felt my love so near.
Then you knew that I was there,
My love, my light through you I'll show.
I am here to comfort you,
And right there to bring you through,
Darling, I'll never let you go."
My heart was captured by You.
I feel like He found me & totally captured my heart. It's of nothing I've done. Trust me, I just make things worse on my own. But it's Him! He's the perfect one.
I pray that He captures your heart & turns your attention on Him instead of your problems & weaknesses. His strength is perfect in those areas.
Love you.
