The Healing Road

Broken and fragile,

Pieces tearfully put back together

Hope clung to with a broken heart

Yearning... Hoping...

Crying out for a brand new start

New Day, New mercies,

Hope springs eternal

As the old is left behind,

A new day has begun

Slowly stepping forward

Faith built in your heart

With every cautious step,

Hoping your foot finds solid ground again

Storm clouds fill the horizon behind you,

Clear skies are up ahead

Each small step brings healing,

The haze that once did cover you,

Begins to drift and even slowly fading

The Voice of your Heavenly Father calls,

Penetrating to the deepest parts,

And calms your hurting soul.

He’s leading you, and guiding you

As you walk along the path to healing.

But the healing road feels treacherous,

Not much different than before

The Hurt

The Pain,

The Tears and all the Sorrows,

Still cloud your mind and

Swarm your soul

As you look ahead and begin

To worry about tomorrow

Shh – Comes the command,

Of your loving Heavenly Father

He calls you,

He calls you by name,

Proclaiming you are his Child.

He rejoices over you with loud singing,

 He quiets you with his love.

The burdens you carry:

The Hurt, the Pain,

The tears and all the sorrows,

He takes from you,

And puts them on his Son,

For you to no longer carry.

The healing road brings promise,

A hope and a fresh desire,

To live again

And love once more….

As you rest at his feet,

In awe, In love

Causing you simply to admire

A brand new start has come,

As the Mercies wash over you again,

The hope that once seemed distant,

Now rests firmly in your soul.
