Please. Show Me That You Love Me.


I would be lying if I said I didn’t care,
I would be lying if I said I wasn’t hurt,
I would be lying if I said I didn’t mind,
But is there any of your love to spare?

Thrown down by the weight of shame,
Torn apart as you called my name,
Broken by the sound of silence,
Willing myself to go the distance,
Is there any of your love to spare?

Running from my mistakes,
Heading into the abyss,
Searching in the night,
For Your love and Your light,
Is there any of your love to spare?

You will always find me,
Even when I am blinded,
Next to me, you will be,
Open up my eyes again,
Please, show me that you love me.

Lord, sometimes your word doesn't seem like enough. Sometimes it feels like you cannot hear me at all. Sometimes it feels like you just don't love me. Sometimes I don't understand how you could love me. 

But I know you do. I know this truth. But it is days like today when I need to be shown. It is days like today when I ask for you to open my eyes again and reach into my heart. Reach in to find my passion for you Lord. Reach in and engrave your name there. Reach in and heal my heart. Reach in and steal my heart. I am Yours and You are mine. I want you to be at the centre of my world. Not just today and not just tomorrow, but forever Lord.

Amen
