You have grown so
fast I could hardly remember
How you looked as a
baby, those memories seem unclear
But seeing how
lovely you've grown reminds me
Of how I was once
like you and how much I've grown older.
When I was your age
I often find myself dreaming
Of a place I could
run to, where I can be free to fall apart
Far from prejudice,
from the bondage of this painful reality
Where I can hear the
quiet beatings of my tender heart.
I kept searching far
and wide, yet only in my mind
Imagination took me
to places no one else had ever been
My mind powerfully
conceived a sense of freedom and worth
Even when the perils
of this world kept me locked from within.
I was weary of
thinking too much, of feeling less important
Surely there was a
place for the pieces of my broken heart
Only when I dropped
on my knees did I truly find my home
In the heart of
Jesus, I was always welcome from the start.
No man can ever fill
the longings of our hearts
Than the one who
gave us life, and loved us without a doubt
He died on the cross
so you and I may breathe and live
Christ paid for our
freedom, our sins were all wiped out.
May all that you do
bring Him glory and pleasure
God loves you deeply
and knows all of your sorrows
When you give him
your heart he will give you all that you desire
Never doubt our
Maker, He has secured all your tomorrows.
