I will woo you with my heart
and open up my soul
I will let you in to see
the black and empty hole
Run your fingers through the pain
Touch gritty well-worn tears
Touch each sinew of my mind
Weep the feeble painful fears
Know where I've come from
See the bruised and swollen mess
Of all that life once said
And that vulnerable distress
Know where i've come from
So that you can see
that somehow life has changed
that Christ has set me free
Then, share with me in joy
though I weep in loves despair
for I live in awe of him
and long you'll meet him there
Author notes
Once upon a time I had a black and empty hole. I just realised that now, the only times I can't help but shed a tear are when i see or even here about people who meet Jesus, or when I see people who need to.
They're not judgemental tears, not regretful tears, nor hopeless tears.
They're tears because I've met a God who transformed my life when I didn't deserve it. They're tears because I see him making the same impact on other people, and they're tears because I see lives which seem as lost as mine was, for which I know there is no other answer, than a real God who cares.
Thats what i mean by the final stanza... I mean that while i'm now full of joy, there are times when my heart aches for people to feel it - aches so much that I can't help but weep. It can't help but spring from love - that I only understand having been shown how vast love actually is, by God.
Please tell me what you think

I dont think I've actually commented on your stuff before, but I'm going to fix that right now! I love you kiddo and everything always has a reason and you know he has a plan! Be strong in who you are and keep your faith up. In the end, faith and love is all you will ever have!
