You Say...

 

You Say…

You say that you’re a pile of dung

That in the meadows lay

I say that you’re a cherished soul

For whom I died to save.

You say that you’re an accident;

Your mother’s foul mistake,

I say that I planned your life

And I love all that I make.

You say that you’re a nothing,

Your life's an empty hole,

But I gave to you a purpose

When I gave to you your soul.

You say that I don't love you,

That God does not exist,

That I cannot hear your prayers

Wouldn't answer if I did.

May I say that I see you,

I see your every tear,

I'm just as real as you are,

And always very near;

Although you cannot see Me,

I'm ever by your side,

I made you to walk with Me

In love, and joy and light.

Not in the darkness of self hate

Nor the spell of devil lies,

I died to free you from his chains

To give You love and life.

Open up your heart to Me,

I'll give to you new eyes,

You will see as I see you

A cherished jewel of Mine.

You will see yourself anew

And I will give you peace,

Love and joy will fill your heart

The darkness then will cease.

    

You must walk by faith, My child

If you would gain new eyes,

To replace your hate with love,

Your darkness with Christ's light.

Come to Me, oh come believe,

Your sorrow put away,

I say that you’re a cherished soul,

For whom I died to save.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, may all who read this prayer poem and these scriptures hear Your voice whispering in their heart that You cherish them more than they could ever comprehend. May You help them know that their life has infinite value, that You make no mistakes, that You love all that You create, that You allowed Your only Son Jesus Christ to suffer, bleed and die like a criminal on a Roman cross of execution over 2000 years ago to prove it so that we all might be forgiven and live forever with you in love and peace. Thank You, Lord, In Jesus' name, amen. 

 ^"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." John 3:16-17 (NIV)

God's Word Is Eternal

"Your lovingkindness, O Lord, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies."

 ~ Psalm 36:5 

Lord, Thy Word is eternal

Thy love mounts to the skies

Even when the clouds obscure 

Thy face from me sometimes.

Lord, Thy mercy reaches

To the depths of Sheol

To shelter me in suffering, 

You heal my broken soul.

Lord, You hear my every cry

And though I see no form

You've promised You will answer me

For You are in control.

Lord, Thy word is eternal,

Thy promises are true,

You promise that You'll meet my needs

And what You say, You'll do.

Lord, Thy mercy reaches 

To the skies above

You're weaving out of all my paths

A temple of Thy love.

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Thy merciful love toward each of us that 

reaches to the heavens; a love so great that, to the Psalmist, it was an incalculable span. 

Thy word proclaims that Thy love and mercy toward us are immeasurable, that You hear our every cry, that no matter how wretched the turmoil our world may be in, You are in control and that you are weaving all the paths of those who love You to come out right in the end. 

We give You thanks for Thy measureless mercy and love that will never reject nor forsake the soul who seeks You. We love You, Lord! In Jesus' name, amen.
