Hearing

Overwhelmed with the emotions…     of sorrow and grief. Unaccustomed to crying…     but still no relief. Who will hear...     my impassioned plea? The silence is deafening…     the stress will not cease. I cry out to God…     but He says not a word. I give You my all…     please say that You've heard. Then in my silence…     God says to me. I've heard every word…     I've heard every plea. Compose yourself child…     and listen to me. I've given you life…     a gift that came free. A free gift for you…     but it came at a cost. Your life was condemned…     your soul was once lost. I sent my Son Jesus…     to stand in your place. He died on the cross…     so you would have grace. Up there He hung…     His blood streaming down. That you one day would wear…     an eternal crown. Know that I hear…     every word that you say. But will you listen…     to Me on this day? Choose you this day…     whom you will serve. If God be God…     then His voice you have heard. Walk in My grace…     and the newness of life. In the midst of the chaos…     of sin and of strife. Stand firm in the faith…     in Christ you are free. Walk in the grace…     of true liberty. poem by MTJ
