BEAUTIFUL

 

Back in my mother’s womb

got so excited for the day to go out

 

Imagine that nine full months without light

oh, to see the world was a real kickoff

 

How beautiful the earth it should be

something that I wish to explore one day

 

I wanted to move around and play

to swim every ocean and to climb up the tree

 

But to stay in the cradle for months

that’s where I needed to be

 

For to stand with my bones was not yet okay

needed to wait to develop every part of me

 

“I’ve been waiting enough, mommy

not for months but it has been years already”

 

“Please let me walk around and see

the lovely places where I wanted to be”

 

But oh, with tears in your eyes

no promising words to give me

 

I felt the pain in your heart that day

for even to walk and to run wasn’t really for me

 

Feeling so depressed and lonely

looking around everything was ugly

 

But I know to remain that way was not okay

to wallow myself in self-pity wasn’t good for me

 

I have to accept my destiny

allowing others to decide for me

 

Went with the flow where they carried me

did what they allowed even begging for money

 

I didn’t dream to end up this way

but what else can a crippled man do

 

It’s my fate that brought me here

not my dream nor my will

 

My daily bread was met at the gate

it’s in the temple, beautiful! Isn’t it

 

No need to sweat but only to beg

to ask for mercy became very easy

 

But a great surprise came to me one day

not with tasty bread nor with money

 

But a long-lost buried treasure

a restoration of a broken dream

 

Yes, it’s to rise and to walk

and to explore the beauty of the world

 

It was done by faith and received through faith

faith in the most holy and mighty name of Jesus

 

My heart leapt for joy

all praises to Jesus alone!

 

Oh, what a beautiful name it is

the name above all names

 

Jesus the greatest healer

the restorer of broken dreams

 

 

 

 

DAILY IN THE WORD

Acts 3:1-8

Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. 2 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; 3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. 4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. 5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. 7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
