Love Abounding: A Song Written in Trial

Postby Madeline » Sun Oct 03, 2004 7:34 pm

And when I say "in trial", I mean in the midst of an online fight. (in the CAA Chatroom on AIM) God can teach and use people online, too! ^_^
I posted this on the Beloved Disciple Bible Study Thread, but I decided to post it here also to get some feedback.

Verse I:
There is so much sadness every day
That my lonely eyes should see
Though the wind should blow
White ash away
Still this sin
It burdens me

Chorus:
Give me peace that passes understanding
Strength to rise above my pain
Fill me with Your love abounding
May I feel Your touch again

Verse II:
The world, it is so lonesome, weary
Will it stop to lick its wounds?
Yet this blood
It’s ever pouring
Turn me inside out

Verse III (or maybe the bridge...it does switch to a different chord progression):
Fight to live
And live to fight
Will we ever learn to love?
Voices calling in the night
Rising to the One above

Verse IV (or III):
And as I write
You ease my pain
My sorrow washed away by rain
You wipe my tears with one big hand
A grace I’ll never understand

It's almost like a prayer. I like that in a song. Those ones are often my favorites. Madeline, this is beautiful. It's very human, very relatable, very true. This song is a gift from God and I am blessed to have read it.
When I feel blue, I start breathing again.

It's cosplay, get used to it.

Beautiful. ^_______^

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

Thank you so much. ^^ *hugs* You bless me too. I guess this is what fellowship really is...and I love it. :) Who knew that I'd be able to find it online as well as in my own life? I am truly blessed. Bless bless bless! ^_^ And some warm fuzzies besides...:hug:
