Living Love

As I sit and breathe the musty air
And contemplate the burdens I now bear
The hardships and troubles and horrific tales
Of how my life has all but failed
As I see my own tears frozen below my eyes
And wonder why I am still so terrified
As I look to my God with unanswerable questions
Seeking to understand that which is not
As I feel my heart beat and then not beat
And then beat again
As I wonder if love will ever find me
If I will ever heal from this fall
As these things overwhelm me,
Killing every hope for joy again,
Someone has given me living love.

As I look upon my decisions made
My sins and betrayals and unwarranted crimes
And upon those of she who is no more
One with me as once promised forevermore
As I wander just what could have been changed
And why we fell into turmoilous chains
As I sit in this prison of solitude and despair
Very few knowing, with whom I can share
As my heart pounds with poison that will not be released
Yet somehow, someway, still seeking a peace
I breathe on, one breath, then another, and another
Maybe more poison will come and this will end
Or maybe, just maybe, something will change,
And in the midst of such horror and regret,
I realize that someone has given me a living love.

The words of my Christ are ringing so true
My God, My God, forsaken me, why you?
And yet there is a hope
From where I fail to know
That drives me on to find love again
To find that one that my heart intends
For my heart does know better than I
With whom it should forever confide
It is yet alive!

An unlikely meeting place brought her to me
The one to whom my heart would be
As we converse and friends become
My heart still weary, yet not done.
With passion she lives to serve by my side
In Your love we shall abide.
A smile that makes my heart so faint
A laugh so sweet and elegant
A beauty ne�er to my heart foreseen
On whom each day my spirit can lean
Our lives together so bright are glowing.
My God, My God, what is this growing
My heart finally to love another
Disrupting the agony in its beat asunder
Is it true, My God?! Is it true?!
Is this one a gift from You?
My God, My God, my heart had died
And yet you have healed this broken-winged dove
And someone has given me a living love.
Thank You Christa for being the amazing woman of God you are and the hope that your have restored to my life and the amazing possibilities for our future that are developing. You are the reason my heart beats again.
All Things Christa Dawes
