Loved

Do you hear me when I’m weeping Lord
When I feel so far away?
When I can’t name my trouble Lord
Beside me, do you stay?
Do you think of me as beautiful
Though my face is wet with tears
Do you see beyond the tattered mask
I feebly attempt to wear?
Do you know my heart, my Lord
And how very deep the pain?
How lost I get inside my head
How the fear within has stained?
Do you hold me gently as I fall
Lord, do you love me then too?
When I have hurt those I claim to love
Or been selfish, angry or untrue?
Lord, what about the many times
I come empty to your throne?
When all I have is NOT enough
And my faith and hope have flown?
Do you love me then Lord, anyway
When I am of no worth to you?
Will you pick me up and brush me off
And breathe life into me anew?
And the answer resounds
Through my heart like the balm
That has calmed the troubled sea
And the Lord wraps me up
In the arms of His love
All this He does for me
I can’t wait for the day
When I kneel at His feet
And thank Him for this priceless love
I could have been tossed and thrown away
But instead my heart’s healed from above
And tenderly He walks
Carrying my sorrow and pain
Holding my hand in His
And whispering my name…
