Words Spill Forth...

Words spill forth on the page
Allowing me to say what I really want to say

The world sees someone I’m really not
Courageous, secure, and strong a lot

I’ve fooled them and maybe myself by wearing this façade
Deep down I’m scared, and afraid, and sometimes I can’t hear God

Put on a smile and make them think I’m fine
While really I’m crying tears of hurt inside

Why do we do this? All wear masks and different faces
Why can’t we be real and look deep inside at real places?

Why do we hide our hurt away
Thinking if we do it will go away someday

Where does the idea come from we always have to be strong
Why can’t we have days were we simply exist and really long

To rest in the arms of our Father’s love and grace
To be cradled close in His warm embrace

It’s okay to need Him and okay to cry
He understands, He had a son that died

God gives us the courage to be real
To show each other how we truly feel

To stop living as if we are someone we’re not
To see the good and bad in the lives we’ve got

To reach out and take His hand
To find the courage to finally stand

To live life real today
Regardless of what the world around us has to say

Grace for the moment that’s all we ask
The ability to complete the task

Authenticity in all of its beauty for your glory
As we each live out our lives and share our own story

Thank you Father and help us to see
That in you we have the ability to simply be

In you we live and move and have our being
Never without hope and always seeing

That while it might not make sense today
You provide for us a perfect way

Your love that guides us in all we do
For in this all glory and honor we give to You
