My heart is jaded
The colors have faded
As I search for some way to find
Peace for my aching soul
To make me whole
I am broken
I am bruised
This weight too heavy to bear
While everyone else is unaware
My fears weigh me down
To my knees
And my hopes shattered
Into pieces all over the floor
I am exposed before you
You can see right through me
I cannot hide
Your eyes are on me
I look away, fearing your dismay
Yet I feel the gentle touch,
Your hand on my shoulder
Comforting my anxious heart
You look at me
Like I’m the only one in the room
With a love that runs deeper than my veins
And richer than I can afford
I had no strength to bear
And you offered yours
With only love in your eyes
Regardless of what I’ve done
You looked past all of the hurt,
All of the pain
And you saw me
For who I really was
You remind me
Of who I really am
And that I am not alone
You’d fight for me
For your love completely encompasses me
And leaves me speechless
You delight me with your love
And consume me to my innermost
You open my eyes to see
I can trust you with my life
You illuminate my life with the richness of your love
My world now vibrant and beautiful
It is the richest love,
and you offer it freely to me.
