Where My Heart is Bleeding

It has been awhile since I posted a poem.  This one was given to me a few months ago and I wanted to share this with you.  A friend, Joel McCubbin, also helped me to revise and get the “flow” of this song down pat!

Praying as you read this you will relate and find yourself in communion with our Savior.

Where My Heart is Bleeding

 

Where my heart is bleeding I know you tarry there

When I feel I’ve lost myself that’s when you show you care

Your heart was broken for my heart to heal

It may take forever for that truth to reveal

Torn, broken, and dirty I stumble and cry

But looking up there you meet me eye to eye

Your goodness and your kindness will show me through

The truth is in your blessings that always accrue

The bleeding will stop as you trade my heart of stone

For the heart of flesh your hand assures I’m never alone

The look of your glory and the train of your robe

Now I am seeing you holding the globe

You are wrapped in light and burning so bright

You gently trade my darkness and wrap me in white

The rainbow of promise the streets of pure gold

All of the splendor that you have foretold

I know and retreat to the inner place of peace

Trusting each moment that my new heart you’ll keep

Oh great weaver of life and great master of time

Use your precious thread in my life and align

Each stitch together with colors you’ve chosen

Coming together as the potter works moldin’

Bring forth this vessel that was my bleeding heart

Show me how to live completely apart

From my selfish desires and whims of the flesh

For this heart you have died for wants only the best

Where my heart is bleeding I know you tarry there

When I feel I’ve lost myself that’s when you show you care

Your heart was broken for my heart to heal

It may take forever for that truth to reveal

Torn, broken, and dirty I stumble and cry

But looking up there you meet me eye to eye
