Here is My Heart

Dear Lord, are You there, listening to my little prayer?
I don't know exactly what to say
I've been told that You love me, hear me when I call would help me when
If I fall, I should let You have Your way

What I guess I'm trying to say, is I need You in my life
'Cause I know I'm tired of living in the past
I would like to take a chance on a change down deep inside
I believe that this is one that's gonna last, so, here is

Here's my heart, it's been broken, it's been wounded
But I'll give it all to You if You would love me, love me
Here's my life, if You want it, You can have it
I will give it all to You because You love me
Your love is everything I need

Dear child, I'm right here, through your worries, through your fears
I've been waiting, for you to call my name
Oh, you know, that I hear you, if you turn to me and trust, my word is true
You will never be the same

Well, I'm standing here to say, that you need me in your life
'Cause I know that you can't make it on your own, on your own
If you would take a chance, let me change you deep inside
I promise you will never be alone, so, here is

Here's my heart, it's been broken, it's been wounded
But I'll give it all to You if You would love me, love me
Here's my life, if You want it, You can have it
I will give it all to You because You love me
Your love is everything I need

You can turn to me and know that I am always standing by
I gave it all for you, so you could have this gentle peace inside
I will follow you 'cause I believe in everything You are
I am your Father, You are my Saviour and in the matters of the heart
I am taking Yours and You are taking mine

Here's my heart, it's been broken, it's been wounded
But I'll give it all to You if You would love me, love me
Here's my life, if You want it, You can have it
I will give it all to You because You love me
Your love is everything I need

Here's my heart, it's been broken, it's been wounded
But I'll give it all to You if You would love me, love me
Here's my life, if You want it, You can have it
I will give it all to You because You love me
Your love is everything I need

* A song by the group Out of Eden* This song has been on my heart lately.

Back to my Maker

Back to my Maker

Where does the heart go that has given up hope ?

Where does the heart go that has been broken ?

Where does the heart go that feels numb to the things of this world? that has lost all feeling ? all conviction ?

The heart that feels like it has been forgotten... abandoned...abused... 

Where does it go ?

....it goes back to it's Maker

the One who can give it a future

the One who can restore

the One who can revive it, give it a purpose and the willingness once again to live... to  impact this fallen world.

The heart that feels like it's been forgotten hasn't really been forgotten at all. 

You see it has never been more in the midst of God's watch. 

The heart that feels like it has been abandoned never rested more securely in the very hands of God!

The heart that feels like it has been abused over and over again has a Comforter. His name- Jesus.

He waits patiently for that moment when that heart will return so that He can COMFORT it.

For that moment where He can tenderly hold it while whispering softly, "I know the plans I have for you... plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope".       (Jer. 29:11)

That is where the heart goes.

Today my heart will run to Him.

Wounded, battered, bruised but with great expectancy I will run to Him as He runs towards me.

With all the strength left in me, I will run.

With nowhere else to turn and nowhere else to go...

I will run....

straight...

back to...

my MAKER.
