Why does the tune of the heart change so uncontrollably?
One moment a
lullaby, the next moment a roar,
One moment a dirge,
the next moment a jig,
Now a hymn, now an
outcry, now a laugh, now a growl.
Why, O Heart, do you
confuse me so?
God, fill me with
love, so it will shine through no matter the tune.
When the things I
hold dear begin to crumble, empower me to stay true,
And to embody love
every moment, even if it would disappear from the world around me.
Beautiful and so true, Stephen!
ReplyDeleteI love this prayer poem. So full of lament, yet also praising and beseeching the Lord. Thank you for sharing.
