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.

MY HAND

MY HAND

 

I will hold you by MY HAND,

I will lead you and feed you,

Show you all you need to do.

Whenever you are scared

And feel alone

Just remember I hold you in MY HAND.

 

Ch:

Oh what do you fear

No evil can near

Safe and secure in MY HAND

When the pressure to succeed,

Falls heavily on you.

Just remember you're inscribed in MY HAND

I will show you what to do,

I will give you the best;

You're forever engraved in MY HAND

When the enemy comes,

To steal away your joy,

I will shelter you from every blow.

None can take what i give

With my strength you will live;

Hidden in the Shadow of MY HAND

When you feel your life is empty,

and purpose is lost;

I will always have something better for you.

When your work is in vain,

And your heart crumbles in pain,

I will touch and heal with MY HAND.

And then in sickness and pain,

I will strengthen and keep you,

Bless you even when you're old.

when one last day

you leave your earthly home

I receive you in MY HAND  

THOUGHTS

Filled with thoughts so wrong,

I wandered along; lonely and lost.

Fears and doubts overwhelmed me;

Till one day I found…

 

Ch:

Higher thoughts, better ways;

Words of truth, plans I just don’t understand.

Hope and life, peace and joy: a life I don’t deserve

Yet  mine because of HIM

 

Now I live everyday;

Abundantly pardoned.

Fear, doubt and sin atoned at the cross.

JESUS t o fill every lonely spot.
