.....
A Little Heart
My heart is breaking from much pain,
It’s tired, down and stressed.
All my hope has slipped away,
I feel anything but rest.
I turn to God, my faithful friend,
But He feels far away.
But through my tears I see on the floor,
A tiny red heart lay.
A little heart sat on the floor,
Crumpled and torn apart.
Oh how my heart feels like that heart,
A tired broken heart.
I pick it up and hold it close,
Then I heard a voice that day,
“I will heal your broken heart,
And take your pain away.”
“I’ll hold you close all through the day,
I’ll take each step with you.
And when you feel to weak to walk,
I’ll be your strength for you.
I’ll pick you up and carry you,
I’ll never let you down.
I will give you back your hope,
And take away your frown.”
I kept on looking at the heart,
Still wanting to hear more.
The voice I heard was soft and sweet,
Hearing more I so longed for.
But that is not what happened next,
A voice I did not hear.
But right before my eyes that day,
I saw my Jesus near.
The little heart that once looked torn,
Changed right in front of me.
That little heart now looked brand new,
The changes I could see.
And then I felt my sad heart stir,
My pain vanished away.
Then joy and hope just filled me up,
And I knew I’d be okay.
I felt His healing touch that day,
I felt him touch my heart.
I know my Jesus loves me cause,
He fixed my broken heart.
I heard His voice so clearly,
Then I felt him touch my soul.
I know my Jesus loves me cause,
His touch has made me whole.
