Don't You See?

If this happens to offend you in any way, you don't have to read it. You don't understand what I've been through, so don't worry about it. I won't back down from something I believe in so easily.

The sun is hidden behind the clouds,

Rain continues to pour down.

Faster and faster, it seems.

There's a hope that's always lied within me,

One that I've tried so hard to reach.

Now, with His word inside of me, my heart can finally be restored.

Renewed.

Refreshed, I arise from being numb, deaf and blind.

I'm now able to seek Him like never before and it's the feel of it all that makes me seem secure.

Through all of the struggling, the unfinished determination and the pain, it was so hard to see.

I've finally been set free.

You're concerned for me?

You're worried about me?

Am I really losing myself, or have you just never known me?

This is healthy, this is right.

He makes me feel alive; I'm finally breathing again.

It's like the very first time.

The tears aren't falling and the previous fears are faltering.

Faith's made my heart into something new,

Shaped my life into something both real and true.

Its pretty cool how you express understanding and finding God like that. Once you get that he LOVES you, you're like "wow, really, me?" I liked this I can connect to it.
