With Love

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.
