....just in case you have forgotten

He is enough. 

no measure of wrong 

no heart of stone

no depth of hurt 

no tear in the night 

no bondage to sin

no fear within

not even a stubborn will 

is beyond His hand,

His touch, 

His love.

because You are here

 It looks better than it has in a while,
 I can laugh and dance,
 let the warmth in all the way inside,
 I've got faith that  if seek i'll find,
 I 'm not afraid of making mistakes,
 I know You'll provide me with a way out
 You wont let me run too far,
and when I think I have-You'll come find me
Yours is a love that knows no bounds
 mine - a heart that's thawed.

Layered in Love

Its easy to get weary,and to let go of what i already know,
and even easier to forget what you've led me through before,
when i am blinded by the present need,
i fail to see how much help i've already recieved,
i start to look through my alternatives,
trying to fix when i know i should yield.
i feel the distance growing and still,
I leave you on the outside as the battles rage within.
i get lost in the same self that led me to the crazy place that i am in,
and i keep banging on the same doors that i always do,
with the false hope that maybe this time i will find a way- by myself.
You let me try things my way because that's what love does
.....it doesn't interfere with free will.
It's up to me to reach for you.
You hate to watch me struggle
but you know i must in order to grow.
and when i finally reach my end,
and this prodigal in utter despair comes home,
you are there.
to fix the fraying edges of my sanity,
to heal my stubborn and worn heart.
to love me back to where i was meant to be.
Deserving nothing but a thrashing,
i'm given more than i hope for, more than in need.
i'm Layered in Love.
