Ray of Hope Again....


-->
Someone’s crying
Can’t you hear the pain
Something inside is breaking
And it might not heal again

Lost and hopeless
Where to go from here
No reason to try again
‘cause there was nothing else clear

She just fell apart
Had nothing else to give
Ev’ry vision had shattered
Without a cause left to live

Just a prisoner
She alone to blame
Her whole heart in shambles
And her soul was held in chains

Someone’s crying
Can’t you hear the pain
Something inside is breaking
The future is gone again

Doors closed and bolted
Lights had been shut off
The darkness was oppressive
And she couldn’t shake it off

Now she was empty
And without a plan
Now was the time to claim her
Lift her gently by the hand

The Savior then arrived
Caught her tenderly
Wrapped His arms around her
Said “I’ve come to set you free”

“You’re not forgotten
I will take your place”
Then He whispered in her ear
“This is love and perfect grace”

Someone’s crying
Can’t you hear the pain
Something inside is breaking
Jesus will heal it again

He said He loved her
And would take her blame
At first she was suspicious
It was such a wild claim

Then she saw His scars
And remembered now
Stories of a God who died
And she’d just been told how

Slowly she gave in
Then she broke down
And her heart gave way to tears
From the strain of what this crowned

But then she was filled
By a sense of fervent hope
Her burdens then were lifted
Her life had a whole new scope

Someone’s crying
Can’t you hear the pain
Something inside is breaking
Yet there’s a ray of hope again
...Yet there’s a ray of hope again

I'm glad you stopped by! Part of the fun for me in blogging is hearing from those who come to visit. If you want to comment or have additional thoughts I'd love to hear them. This is my rambling spot, so everything might not be clearly stated. Please keep it positive and Christ-honoring, but thought-provoking discussions are welcome! Quite honestly I'd be delighted if everybody who stopped by left a note.
