a wounded heart – v2

a deep hurt, hidden, buried,
something we carry, in shame, in truth,
a wounded heart, a fettered spirit,
when we long to fly, to fulfill our purpose…
 
so many days lost, truncated, in pain,
in hurt, in our own prayer closet,
not feeling God, beside us, with us,
only feeling pain, no hope for tomorrow…
 
but we have been redeemed,
Christ has saved us, restored us,
we can stand before God, as children,
as His beloved, with Christ….
 
We need to have faith, to believe,
that God will equip us, sustain us,
that God has plans for us, each of us,
that God will use us as we are…
 
We are good enough, we have a calling,
God lifts us from the mud, from the dust,
God pursues us, woos us, calls us,
God runs to meet us out on the road…
