Wednesday Night

The melody melted my ears,
The power in her voice made me stare in awe,
The lyrics had depth and meaning,
My eyes wandered aimlessly.

My friend stumbled over to my side,
Face in hands, trembling,
I looked at her, clouds in her eyes,
Puddles formed, and rivers drizzled down her crimson cheeks.

I understood what she felt,
It had happened so many times before,
I embraced her,
And her head found vacancy on my shoulder.

My eyes closed,
And He appeared in front of a light,
His arms opened to hold me close,
To never let go.

It all flashed before me,
My last life, all the things I regret,
All the things I loved,
All the things that held me back.

I saw Him once again,
Clad in white,
Smiling,
Closer to me than ever.

Tears speckled my face for my past,
For my sins, for every time I hurt Him,
For every time He stood strong,
And I fell weak and feeble.

The sobs came,
The wailing too,
And I knew I was not
The only one.
My eyes cracked to see them,
All those who had been sitting silently,
Now kneeling on the floor,
Pouring their hearts out through their eyes,
Raising their hands,
Feeling what I did.

It made me cry even harder,
For the overwhelming joy I felt of my salvation,
Its difficult to explain.

Speechless,
Weeping,
Overjoyed,
Wednesday night.

Cast Aside

Sometimes I feel trapped.
Deep within me I can feel a desire for something,
I dont know what it is.
I want some one to own me and love me more than I can know.

I feel sometimes as though I have a reason for nothing,
Especially a reason for my life.
As dreary as I feel on my lowest of lows,
I always feel as though there is a hope.

Everyday I drift away, hoping the dark will remain infinitely.
But then my alarm clock comes on and the sun rises.

What exactly is my purpose?
Sometimes I wonder this.

Suddenly my life was cast aside my boat of life,
My self began to drown.
I felt some hands touch mine and pull me up from the dark realms.

He stood on the water and held me tight.
I was no longer me, I felt renewed.
Removed completely from my past.

I looked into His eyes.
He was smiling, yet tears ran down His face.
I love you, He said.
His words made me tremble.

Blood flowed from His body, from His wrists and feet.
I stood on the water firmly and watched Him rise above me.
His blood dripped from His toes and onto me.
His blood made me clean.

To my knees I fell.
I lifted my hands and shouted to Him,
Lord! I love You! Please forgive me Christ! I never knew You were there.
Before me I saw something unexplainable.

He replied,
You have been paid for,
My blood took place of your sins.
I love you. I am always here.
I will always listen to you.
I will see you again in heaven my child.

How long Lord? I asked.
Soon, He said.

Carry

Carry me, set me free
Pick me up when I will fall.

Hug me tight, with all your might,
Lord of Lords, One above all.

Make me cry, fill up my eyes,
Let me see your face.

Worship You in all I do,
How I wish to have taken Your place.

Let your love rain from above,
Let everyone rejoice!

Let me see your great love be,
I want to hear your voice.
