“Tears blocking the sun of day”

I have walked through the waters of sorrow.

Tears blocking the sun of day

as I stumbled each step of the way.

 

My voice softened to a whisper of sound

in calling my Lord.

I am weary from pushing these feet

wanting to rest but cannot.

Was the answer I seek finally before me?

 

It was only when I finally gave up on me

and turned to thee

that the answer awaited me.

 

Only through sorrow and pain

can we know what Jesus gave us through His death.

Death of the mind

death of desire

death of worldly want.

 

Only then can we surrender to His will

and give up our own do we find Him

in the midst of eternal love.

A garment of light to carry us forward

so that we never will shed a tear again.

When such pain goes beyond

metal against metal

pushing and tearing

beyond the tolerances of strength.

 

Truly oh what passion

lies within thee

when finding release again

in one who will truly love you again

in the truth of their spirit and heart.

 

Heart be still

mind be of strength

love awaits.

This time to carry you beyond

the eternal doors of joy and happiness.
