redemption

Submitted by Aisling on Tue, 03/24/2009 - 18:19

when my fears
have worn me out
and worn me thin
can I crawl up on Your lap
and fall asleep there
until I can breathe again?

when my dreams
have left me cold
and all alone
can I run into Your arms
and learn to bear it
until I can dream again?

and when my love
breaks my heart
and takes me apart
can I come in close to You
and touch Your wounds
until my pain makes me one with You
and brings me back to life again?

Love your new pic - love the poem too! Especially the lines"can I run into Your arms/ and learn to bear it/ until I can dream again?"
Well done.

Me: He can't. He's in the wilderness.
