CRY OF THE HEART
My personal experience after losing my firstborn baby girl, Keisha, at 14 months.
* He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds. Ps 147:3
My personal experience after losing my firstborn baby girl, Keisha, at 14 months.
* He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds. Ps 147:3
The prayer of desolation
Rises from the heart
When agonizing sorrow
Rends the soul apart.
A prayer of wretched anguish
That ceaselessly implores
The God of all compassion
To comfort and console.
This plaintive prayer beseeches
God to grant relief -
Dispel the dreary sadness
The all-pervasive grief.
And just when all seems hopeless
God himself descends
*Gently touching every wound
The broken heart He mends.

Seems like just yesterday when we heard the sad news of the darling little curly top. I pray that the same compassion that inspires you to pen these beautiful verses truly brings balm to your soul and those of countless others who walk these crooked lines that are leading us straight home.
