Poetry

---

The darkness came within the night
And filled my heart with fears;
Removing boundaries of life
In pain, confusion, tears.

The trust and faith of innocence
He shattered to the core;
And in its place, the lie revealed
The guilt and shame I bore.

Throughout the years, the bricks were set
The wall was built to hide;
The trembling, hurting, dying soul
The lie had sealed inside.

Marked by a smile to hide behind
So no one had to see;
This ravaged soul of brokenness
The wounded child in me.

Then anger raged within my heart
No faith was found in me.
My hardened heart just couldn’t trust
The God I could not see.

And Mercy heard, and Mercy saw
He grieved, He mourned, He wept.
For buried in the tomb He saw,
The memories that slept.

And evil danced a happy dance
The lie, he thought had won.
The soul he stole away from God,
Left tattered and undone.

But Mercy heard, and Mercy saw,
He wept, He grieved again;
And called the little girl within
This woman stained by sin.

“I know the plans I have for you”
I heard the Lord God say,
“What Satan meant for evil child,
I’ll use for good this day.”

“The ancient ruins will be rebuilt,
And restoration true;
And all once lost, will be restored,
Behold, all things are new.”

And evils laughter turned to screams
As chains began to fall;
The yokes and bondages released,
For Blood had covered all.

“For Satan comes to kill, and steal”,
Destruction is his game;
Determined to convince the soul,
“Unworthy”, “You’re to blame.”

But God in mercy comforted,
Renewed my heart and mind;
Now with the comfort I’ve received,
No child is left behind.
