She takes me on a journey
to places in Papa that I
have never been
She has been where I
never tread
I hang on every word that
flows from her lips
It is like ointment poured forth over my bruises and pain
Going deep, reaching my soul
Forcing me to take a look
at my life
I don’t know if it’s the glow
on her face
Or the peace that emanate from her being
Or the wisdom that flows
from her lips
If I could only dwell in the shadows, which she calls home
Oh, how I long for life changing encounters with Him!
There’s no sign of the pain
of her past
The cobwebs that used to
keep her trapped
Had to let her go
For she dwells in the heart
of the Father
Releasing the fragrance of heaven in the earth
Her life a testimony of the power
of the cross
She is a breathtaking picture
of a restored life
Her face glows as if it was
set alight by Papa himself
She gently moves through
the crowd, ready to embrace the broken and lost
Leaving prints of Papa’s love wherever she treads
She can relate to others pain
She visited many painful paths
In her darkest hours, she was obedient to His call
When Papa summoned her to
go deeper with Him
She joyfully abandoned everything
To go on a life changing journey with Him
He reached for her when
no one would
Setting alight her dying embers
With one glance in her direction
She was forever changed
She couldn’t make pain her habitation
She used it to catapult her
into His dreams for her
Oh, she is head over heels in
love with Her Father
A tried and empty vessel
She died many deaths
She burns with His love
She drips with His oils
Her laid down life, her
offering to her King
People are drawn to His
divine love in her
That’s all she has, no silver
or gold
She laid it all down, for what she has gained
Can never be compared to earthly wealth
Like Paul says “I have suffered the loss of all things and count them
as rubbish, in order that I may
gain Christ”
She now can relate, because she is dead to this world!
She now knows that she’s
only a piece in His big puzzle
And that there are still many daughters that need to encounter His deep love for them!
