From My Heart
Breathing through tears
Streams of all my fears
Riding a smile of serenity
Encouraging my identity
Whispering marvelous grace
Laughter lighting up my face
Heavenly hopes that enchant
Awakening love to transplant
Glories alive and full of kindness
Reminding us of St. Paul’s blindness
Awakening faith that is so strong
Assures me that in heaven I belong
Echoes of healing fall like snow
Riding rivers that constantly flow
With hope, faith and love together
Warm, like the caress of fair weather
Brilliant hues of crimson and gold
Lighting the way with colors so bold
They fire the senses with joyful hope
Promising me that I can surely cope
Rays of sunshine delight sings through
Mercy that sighs and rings so very true
Lifting up those who are filled with sorrow
So that they feel the joy alive in the morrow
From my heart, I can know the adoration
That comes from giving, lifting up creation
To be blessed by a God who truly understands
And sanctifies scriptures that share His commands
From my heart, I feel the awakening of delight
That comes alive when God gives us His insight
Providing the joy and peace that comes alive
When real love can quicken the heart and thrive
