Forward

Said that I would bleed
rushing red
promised tears
and cautioned pain

I feared that future
dressed in hate and chains

and now I fear the
downcast eyes
the disappointed sighs

that your love would be removed
or permanently altered

but I'm not bleeding
because He bled for me.
and the tears which fill my eyes
refuse to fall
because He cried for me
the pain I was promised
He felt for me

I'm exhausted at the thought
It floors me
I'm so loved

I was terrified.
Now replaced
with worry and wonder

I question if you would still love me
But his love?
I don't understand it.
But this much I know:
He loves me.
And that's unchangeable.

Fills me up
and sets me to fly
It scares me
and frees me
That fabulous love

He took my pain. Held it in his hands and feet and back.
He bled. And screamed and ached.
So I don't have to.

Set me free
To bring hope
peace
would be too small
Love that propells
and excellerates
Your love causes me to move

If I could rewind
would I different do?
I need not linger there
because He loves me
and it makes me
run.
