,.,Waters,.,

Ruthless waters that dragged me away
I tried to reach you out, they got in my way
For lone ages I've roamed this place
In slow pace, yet it felt like a race

Anger and hatred burst out from my heart
Another fool, lost that followed the blind
I cursed my life, and cursed the world
Most importantly, I cursed your name whole

Yet I grit my teeth and fall to my knees
Because you are the Most High, and had mercy on me
Such abstract feelings and ideas I can never brace
How come I still cannot understand your grace?

This is when the world spat on me and threw me out
Ah, death was always so close, I wanted to touch
Your voice sounded so peaceful, so I stopped
So endlessly I had waited for this moment to come

I tried to get away, but you followed behind
You kept stopping me, you kept grabbing my arm
No matter how many times I told you to leave
You never did, because you wanted me free

Broken heart that shattered to pieces
Loving, tender, warm and silent peaces
I am yours, and you are mine
Everlasting rest in your lovely arms

It is always amazing that the presence of God in our hearts can inspire us to take the time to put words together into such lovely poetry.

It is even more amazing when you realize Shyforhim is not writing in her first language. She is from Poland (see her bio) worships every Sunday in Spanish, and has taught herself English just from the internet. Truly a testimony to what God can do in a heart that seeks Him.
