Selfworth
Gratitude
Our perfect imperfections see the sufferings on Earth We ponder on our weaknesses and what we're really worth Longing for our souls to be restored, we wait each day Praying to our Father God to take the pain away It's hard to see the miracles when tragedy calls home When you feel lonely and forgotten, waiting by the phone It's hard when you still can't forget the words that pierced your heart Desiring true unity when all seem far apart I used to search in every corner hoping to find love Often disappointed, thinking life is far too tough I've walked a thousand miles and read a thousand books so far I've tried expensive oils to heal that one huge, painful scar Are we here to receive and wait for others to be good Do we judge oh so harshly thinking we have understood We claim to know the truth but then our hearts turn into stone Such high expectations when we claim the highest throne Humble heart that's filled with grace, a gentle spirit calls To drop all our defenses and break down those hurtful walls We needn't be so prideful thinking we are always right Lying sleepless on our beds rehearsing every single fight According to our faith the Bible says it will be done Regardless if we sleep or walk and even when we run So please be mindful of your thoughts and things you greatly fear They never come back empty as you call them to come near Look around you fragile soul and choose to walk in light Please don't dim your shining splendour trying to be right The wisdom and protection that you need will grow on grace and great will be the harvest in the most desolated place Are you your own best friend and do you honor who you are Do you write down all your blessings and praise God for every star Without this gratitude you simply cannot see His glory Without unconditional love no happy ending to your story You read these lines and maybe think that talk can be so cheap You've practised very hard and you still know best how to weep You cannot try to be love, no you ARE love or you're not So start with what you have and stop to count what you have not Today again there are so many reasons to rejoice Every step you take will in the end be your own choice A stunning transformation leaving bitterness behind Lovely one you're beautiful no go and love you'll find |
