The Song of my Heart!

I am a fragile woman. One who has carried her brokenness just beneath the surface, waiting for it to be filled. I nursed my wounds with self-pity and pride, in secret and in quiet. A woman pharisee. The older brother in the story of the prodigal. And yet... inside, I was the woman at the well from Samaria, the woman who was impure from bleeding for twelve years. 

I was so desperate for attention, but when anyone got close, I held them at a distance unless I thought it was safe, then drowning them in the pain that I had nursed for years, building silently inside of me. 

You can be free. 

You can be SET free. 

He can do it. 

HE can make you WHOLE. 

Not the way you were. 

BETTER. 

HIGHER. 

GREATER. 

No longer fragile. Not bouncing back. 

MORE than a conqueror! (Romans 8:28-39)

This is the song that has been in my heart tonight as He reminds me of Who He is and who I am. This is the song that can be true for you, too because of Who He is! 

Broken pieces; broken hearts

Broken mind, with broken parts

Heart that tears itself apart

Heart that with sin won't part 

Mess it up and fall again 

Can't get out; don't know when, 

When I'll break out of this pen- 

I'm penned up with all the doubt again 

I fear the fear will burn right through 

Burn through this heart, tear it in two 

Into two pieces of stone, dark blue 

Will it ever be made new? 

But...

You saved me. 

You made me. 

You said that You love me and will not let me go. 

You sent Him. 

We killed Him. 

The One Who was the Son of Man

The One Who killed death and sin

The One for Whom we will go! 

Kill the old, feed the new 

For we were dead- now, live with You! 

You gave us hearts made brand new: 

Healed and healing though broken, too

We are Yours, made for Your cause: 

Be still, there's peace: rest and pause 

Glory, honor and applause 

to the One Who saved us from sin's jaws 

He will reign forevermore 

We will glory and adore 

Worship and bow down before 

The One Who rose up from death's door 

I will praise You 

Adore You 

My God and my Master, Creator and Redeemer! 

Jesus Christ IS 

My Forever Bliss 

The One Who atoned and loved, bled and died

Who Was, Who Is, Who Will Be! 

Forever and ever Steadfast Love is HE! 

The Son of Man: 

Our Savior, our God! 

The amazing part of all this 

of all this Forever Bliss 

is before I even knew I'm His

He decided and foreknew, 

before He created 

He knew who He made His 

and wrote it on the page of my heart

from before the beginning, before the start
