EMBRACE

A hurt child, tired and lonely,
Pained in heart and soul.
Frustrated and in despair,
I run to your embrace

See my heart Oh Lord,
Read the wordless pain;
Feel the disappointments,
Only you can understand.

I ran after people for love,
found i was used, abused.
I took but one step near you,
To be in your embrace

Filled with comfort and peace,
I found strength to carry on.
To love the very ones that hurt,
What power in your embrace!

You understand this hurt and lonely child,
You stand by and hold my aching heart,
You heal with balm of sacred love,
Embrace with tender care.

In your embrace i feel,
A body tattered with pain;
A soul deserted, weary,
Restored by an embrace.

You embraced death, cruel, ugly,
To understand my pain,
This is that sacred embrace,
The embrace of Christ Himself.

-Preena Deepak Samuel
written out of the depths of despair, YET healed in Jesus Name, restored for a Higher purpose.
