On Forgiveness and Healing

 

You took my broken heart and made it whole.

You took my shattered life. You healed my soul.

You gave me hope.

You gave me strength, so I could carry on.

 

I was so all alone. No place to call my own, my home.

You filled a void in me, gave me eyes to see. You gave me peace within.

I placed my life into Your hands.

A childish trust, not one I’d planned.

 

You wrapped me up into Your arms.

You held me close, free from harm.

You whispered in my ear, so soft that I could barely hear:

“Forgive, my child, and be healed.”

 

My heart sings out to You, for all eternity.

The wounds, the hurts are but a memory.

But this I know, I know forevermore:

“Forgive, my child, and be healed.”
