If My Heart Had a Voice
If my heart had a voice,
There wouldn’t be one, but many,
Screaming from the top of their lungs,
What am I supposed to do Dear Jesus?
I want to follow your path so bad,
But if I turn to the right,
A mother just killed her child.
If I turn to the left,
A family or friend just lost their life.
Oh the pain, the pain, my heart screams out.
I don’t want to lose the faith or the love
That has carried me this far Dear Jesus.
But tell me, what am I supposed to do?!
So many times I have closed my eyes,
And begged you to take me to that
Paradise I was promised .
But I know my purpose in life
Has not even started.
And I am here for a reason.
But I still can’t understand why,
Why we have to cry and hurt so much.
The pain Dear God, the pain is so overwhelming
It fills me with sorrow, confusion, and more pain.
But I know it doesn’t compare
To the pain you suffered, when you die
On the cross for us.
But I am only a weak soul
In a materialistic world, trying to break through
The lies, deception, pain, hatred and tears.
Jesus if I needed you more, it is today,
When my heart is screaming so loud
It is starting to lose it’s voice.
Jesus, please don’t let me fade away.
When I hold my child and she says I love you,
I see you Jesus, I feel your power, your strength
Your love and forgiveness and I realize that my answer
Is in her, my partner, my family and friends.
But still Jesus, today I need to be that child
Cradled in her father’s arms, being protected
From this painful world. The voices in my heart
Are beginning to cry. Dear Jesus save me,
Before my heart shuts down and dies.
