My reflection
stuns me,
because
I don't
see myself
the way
I once did.
I used to be
frightened,
but you gave me
stability
In dreams
and waking,
you
comfort
me.
And let love
not
be wrong,
let it be
right,
for so it was
intended
to be.
It seems like
an eternity ago
the first time
you reached out
to me.
Your heart is
tender,
exposed
without armor
to guard against
swords
that would pierce
that purity;
all that's good
in this world
is contained
in that heart.
Mine is
the same-
vulnerable,
though my pain
I try to keep
concealed,
I often hurt.
But always,
I heal
and continue on
stronger

If you look in my heart you'll find it surprisingly empty
But if you looked around a little longer
You'll find a little room and in that room you'll find a little light.
Though that light is small it shines so very bright;
And if you look into the light for just a little while;
You'll see my life day by day;
And you'll see how it differs, but if you don't know why that is;
Look a little closer.
Because at the very center is Jesus our Lord and Saivor.
Take this piece of my heart
I know it's really small
But it's all i have to give to you
For the Lord holds it all
But has spared this little piece
So that I may give it to thee
But please promise me
That if the Lord shall call me home
That you'll give it back to me
so that i may keep "my promise to the Lord"
But in return i promise
You that all my love that I've given you
is yours to hold forever
Lord please hold my heart
Please hold it forever more
My heart is yours to keep
Till I'm there with you
But please ignore this little piece
It's for the one i love here
When i get to heaven
My all will be yours to keep
This is my promise to you
The promise I'll always keep
Amen
