Take Away Your Pain
The world is full of pain they say
And that's proven to be true
For pain is all I ever see
When I look at you.
A tortured soul with wounded eyes
Huddled all alone
Looking like a broken bird
With no nest to call home.
Heart full of massive injuries
A ball of unwound hurt
A man of pride but deep inside
You feel you have no worth.
It makes me mad to look at you
And the schemes that you employ
To hide the fact that you're off track
And such an sad, lost boy.
When I could bring such joy to you
If it were just allowed
And I would humbly give my heart
If you were not so proud.
You're crippled by such bitterness
And a past you can't forgive
Fighting with every ragged breath
Each second that you live.
I wish you knew God's love for you
Before your strength is gone
And that you would read that scripture
That says bitterness dries the bones.
Forgive me if I've hurt you
Forgive others that have, too
Don't hold to real and imagined hurts
But cling to what is true.
Pain, it is an awful thing
Believe me, I know it well
Pain can take a paradise
And turn it in to hell.
But love can heal the deepest cuts
And make one whole again
Just take my heart, and God's outstretched hand
And we'll take away your pain.
