I will be Still

The Beat of my Heart...

When life feels busy and all that surrounds me is noise, those times that i cannot hear; I will be still and silent to hear the gentle whispers of your voice. When Hope feels like something of the past; I will be still and remember that you are the hope of the world, the hope of me and are never changing but remain the same forever. When it feels like you are far away, I will be still and remember that although you are beyond the stars, you are also closer then breath. When i find myself stuck in a Valley, rather then fear; I will be still and remember that in the valley i see your strength, in the valley you play my rescuer, in the valley you are my light. When the world tells me that i am ugly, I will be still and silent and remember when you whispered that i am made in your image and that i am Beautiful just as you created me. When the world reminds me of the father that chose to leave, i will remind the world of the father that stays with outstretched arms, an embrace of love and mercy forever, When illness invades my body, i will declare with faith that you are my healer. When the past surfaces in the present; i will stand firm and remember that you broke the chains, your broke the bondages and you replaced the nightmares with new dreams. When i forget the dreams that you placed deep within my heart; i will be still and remember that your a god of the unlimited and in you all thing are possible. When my heart ache's and it feels like the journey is over, i will be still and remember that your heart ache's with mine and with you the journey is never ending! When i feel that i'v been left behind, i will be still and remember that you arn't infront of me, nor are you behind; but you are by my side living things through with me. When tears stream down my face, I will be still and remember when you said that those who sow with tears will reap with joy. When there are times that I feel weak and need you more then ever; I will be a fighter and rise up and pray with power. When the wind blows; i will be still and remember that you are like the wind... although i cant see or touch you i can feel you. Through the noise of the world, I will be still and remember that in the quiet you will fill my heart with joy and with a new song. I will always remember that my life is a symphony of praise to you my king, my creator, my healer, my strength... MY FATHER.
