The wounded Heart.


O the agony of My heart, the unceasing pain, the unhealing wound
My heart is torn apart, my anguish is unbearable, the pain incurable
My heart is overwhelmed with grief, the weight I can not bear
From the depths of My heart I moan, in anguish I cry out
My cries fall on deaf ears, on harden hearts, and unseeing eyes

From my suffering I cry to God, I plead in desperation
When will this trial end, when will the oppression cease
Why are you torturing me, have I not done what was commanded
Why are you punishing me, the weight of your hand I can not bear.
Has Your heart grown cold, is it void of love, has it become a desert

What have I done to deserve this punishment, this unfair discipline
You say You are just, and with justice You reign, then why this punishment
You said you loved me, You said You cared, but all I see is discipline
Where is your love, where is your compassion, why are you so unfair
All I feel is Your wrath, I am surrounded by your fierce anger

Why do you hate me, why must I suffer this punishment
I am frightened of Your wrath, of Your anger, of Your aggression
In my fright I turned away, in panic I fled, in despair I live
In desperation I call out to you, where is your compassion
Where is your mercy, your grace, your love, why can I not feel it

You heard my cries, and answered me
Look deeper what you see is not, what I see
Open your eyes, do not be deceived, take it all in
Do not let your perception of me blind you
I looked beyond my blindness, this it what I saw.

O the agony of My heart, the unceasing pain, the unhealing wound
My heart is torn apart, my anguish is unbearable, the pain incurable
My heart is overwhelmed with grief, the weight I can not bear
From the depths of My heart I moan, in anguish I cry out
My cries fall on deaf ears, on harden hearts, and unseeing eyes

I saw the agony my sin caused Your heart, the deep wound it made
A pain beyond anything I could bear, an anguish that would kill me
A brokenness I will never understand, the depth of Your pain is unfathomable
My heart moans with the impact of this love, this stead fast love
I cry out to you from the depth of my heart, for the pain I inflict upon you.

I see Your steadfast love for me, where I was blind before
I see Your love for a nation that broke Your heart
Father, I commit myself to you, I give my heart to you
Break me for what breaks You, use me as you will
My heart has found its place, it belongs to you.
