this heavy burden
on my back
breaks me into tears
pulls me down
onto the ground
accentuates my fears
far beyond outer space
my soul wants to scream
running in place
caught in a dream
is there anyone out there?
to hear my cry
hold my hand
tell no lie?
in the mirror all I see
disgrace and disgust
I cannot be
where else am I accepted now
how can I be loved
in the midst
of a meteor shower
I see a hand reach out
It pulls me with great power
Safely to the side
I arrive
it takes me for a ride
the land below
is soaring past
magnificent glory
none could surpass
what is this spirit going to show?
in my head
eager thoughts flow
through the pearly gates we soar
it whispers to me,
"And there's so much more."
surrounded by an unusual fog
celestial dust enwraps my body
soothing my deepest wounds…
It leads me to a majestic throne
"Don't be afraid. Him you can trust."
then leaves the two of us alone
I gaze up as high
as my eyes can turn
bow to my knees
and worship the One
who reigns the sky
I couldn't believe my eyes
For this was Him
My savior and Lord
this was the moment
All my life to I looked forward
He came down from His seat
and cradled me close
leaned in so that
His face grazed mine
my hair He carefully stroked
gleamed into my awestruck eyes
and this is what He spoke,
"You sought for me
and now I'm here.
I'll never leave your side.
Draw near to me
and I will dry your tears.
Nobody can pry us apart
for you are solely mine.
My love for you
is greater than
all the world combined."
