Captivated by God’s Love

Through tears and pain tests remain of the soul which was once lost. Through heartache and headache my heartbeat remains. Through screams of hurt anger flows, but all in all I am captivated by God’s love.

No matter what storms come, or how the ocean rage. No matter how the thunder rolls and the lightning flashes in the sky, all in all I am captivated by God’s love.

He is a shield around me which protects me from harm. He is a shield around me and His love can be found. He is ever present when I need a shoulder to cry on. He is the smile on my face when things turn upside down.

He is the sun that shines in my heart. He is the Son who died for me. He is the Son who gave me my eyes to see, and so, forever I am captivated by God’s love.

My voice loves to sing to Him. My voice loves calling His name. My eyes are captivated by all of the beauty He brings. My soul leaps for joy by just the thought of Him. My body trembles to the core of my soul when I feel I am without Him. My soul settles when He sits by my side in the middle of the night, and whenever I awake, I know everything is alright. My heart skips a beat for the power He has. My thoughts even cries just thinking of all of the wonderful things He does.

Forever mine, forever His. My soul will always be captivated by God’s love.

The Empty Cross

I closed my eyes and saw nothing there. I closed my eyes and saw the cross but it was bare. The cross of sin and shame where my Savior died stood alone on a hillside of the skull.

Stained with the blood He shed for you and me, for the whole entire world and for all that will ever be. It stands alone, for Jesus is at home sitting on the heavenly seat.

I closed my eyes and saw nothing there until the sun shone through the sky. I closed my eyes and opened them again to see Jesus standing by my side. He smiled at me and said all is forgiven; never worry, only believe that I belong to you, and you belong to ME.

I closed my eyes and opened them again, but I was left standing alone. I know my Savior lives within me because my heart is His home.

I closed my eyes and saw the light that was shone. No more darkness, I will walk in the light of His love from now on.
