Heartburst

An open bloom inside me
A soft cushion of grace
Bursts forth from old darkness
And death's decaying waste

You found your way afar
Somewhere, wandering
Lonely in the shadows
In your heart's pondering

I don't know your words, now
Or your reasons, or your tears
But I hope that somehow
You will feel my love.

The tears I shed now, every day,
Every night to my pillow
My trembling voice offers this way
To join you in your suffering

If I could take it away, love
If I could take it back
If I could take you to heaven
I'd make up for what we lack

To see Jesus smiling
On our weakened souls
Happy in our grace
His strength to bestow

My heart is open here
Just a few breaths away
A backward glance, here
Healing from my dismay

Jesus.  Jesus has not left.
Jesus will not leave you.
Jesus is your Right
Jesus will not deceive you.

Don't look left or right
Don't think it all Wrong
Just peer up to heaven
And God will restore your song.
