FATHER TIME - "YOUR WORTH MORE"

"FATHER" TIME
(c) 2008 Stephanie Durand


When people do you wrong,
And you have to move on
Time does not always heal the wounds,
But with time, you become strong…
When "I am sorry" never replaces pain,
When your soul is all they have tried to gain,
God shields our heart from the enemy's lies,
But he cannot prevent the tears that we have to cry
Tears, they say, cleanse the soul
Tears, they say, can make us whole
They wash away the pain, the hurt,
They clear our vision to just what we are worth
We are worth more
than any enemy outside
We are worth more
than He can even tell us why
Sometimes it is harder to let go than to stay
But sometimes we see it is the only way
Because sometimes if we don't,
It is with our soul, we will pay.
--------------------------------------
The soul is the eyes to the heart,
The soul is what rises when we depart
The soul knows love, and the soul learns hate
And through it all,
we must accept our own fate
For God only knows the paths we must take
Trusting is the hardest, but make no mistake
Throughout our life, he holds our hand
He is after all, the "footsteps" in our sand
He carries us through what we just cannot seem to bare
He is always our strength when there is no one else there
He planned it that way from the beginning of time
For in the end, it is peace we will find.
--------------------------------------------
When he tells us to let go,
We have to trust that He knows
Just where he is taking us and just
How far we will go.
Our struggles, our heartaches,
Our sins and our shame,
our burdens, he carries
For he has always known our name.
From the beginning of time,
Till the end of our road,
It is God who is writing our story
And our stories must be told.
For ours then take a seat
To the next soul we sometimes meet,
Who needs that hand to hold,
Who needs that other soul,
To just get through one more day
To just hang on and find their way
---------------------------------------
God entrusts our hearts to feel,
And through our pain,
He will show us how to heal
The next wounded soul
That we meet along the way.
So never take your pain
And lock it all away,
For God never planned it that way.
He cannot come down to earth,
To be the flesh that holds thier hand,
And say, with a tear in their eye,
That they, too, understand.
For in all pain, there is growth
For in all pain, there is worth,
For in all hearts that heal
Those marks become our seal
For who we are in Christ
For who we live our life
For those that give away their stories
To help heal those who come into their life.
So never fear God's journey for you on this earth
Stand tall and do not be shaken or let someone else
destroy your worth
You are a child of the King of Kings
who knows your heart inside out
Never let the outside world instill in you
hate or doubt.
Pray with open hands, never doubt this life
your were given
You are a gift for those He sends
Just open your heart....and listen.
