You Don't Know What I Know

 

You Don't Know What I Know

You don't know 

You couldn't know

You wouldn't know

You'll never know

What I know

I know how love feels

How it just makes you reel

In that dance called confusion

Till you don't know what's real

You twirl and you whirl

Till it all starts to unfurl

I know that pain

That heart searing pain

The loss and the gain

The fumbling and stumbling

Over ghosts that remain

We never talked

You said farewell and walked

Left me there cold and stark

In a world that'd gone dark

You looked back and smiled

And I hoped for a while

But you never returned

Didn't care how I yearned

I didn't know what I'd done

I guess I'll never know

But my poor heart still follows 

Everywhere that you go

There has been no reprieve

Not a single word, true 

All I know is..... you'll never know

That I''m still loving you.

DUI BLUES by Miss Jeanie

 

Git Up Git Out

 

Now Go Fly Little Bird

Now Go fly, Little Bird

Never think that I don’t care
When I see you sitting there 
All alone and lonely in the crowd
Saying nothing but talking loud.

Your eyes are full of unshed tears
Your mind is numbed by faceless fears
Your heart is shattered and locked up tight
For your pain has dimmed your spirit sight.

You think no one has seen you there
Holding nothing but your chair 
You feel invisible and hard to see
But you can’t hide yourself from Me.

I know the reasons you turn away
And rush to leave when you should stay
I’ve seen your rejection from human beings
That pass you by there, never seeing.

I’ve seen the days when you reached out
When your heart was full of faith not doubt
And you believed that you belonged 
But that moment in time didn’t last very long.

The doors were slammed right in your face
As you tried hard to find your place
But no matter what you did or tried
Your love and your efforts were brushed aside.

So now you come and you leave alone
No one bothers you and you speak to no one
You come seeking love and you leave finding none
And you cry out your soul in your car going home.

And now you’re convinced that you’ll never feel loved
And that I’ll never give you all the things you dream of
You come to My Presence and you cry out to Me
But you really don’t believe that I even see.

But I see. But I see and I draw you to Me
And you must never think that that’s the way it should be
Isolation is dangerous and painful and bad
And I hate it when you hurt and your life is so sad.

Though eternal, immortal, I became man through birth
And even I, your Creator, had to have friends on earth
But My friends, they all left Me and  some ran away 
And they fell asleep when I asked them to pray.

They betrayed and disowned Me
And they left Me to die
And when I asked them to believe Me
They were too scared to try.

My family thought that I had lost My mind
And they broke My heart with their words unkind
I knew how it felt to be lonely and scorned
With those nails in My hands and My head crowned with thorns.

I was tried and convicted though I was innocent of blame
As I bore all the sins of this world and it’s shame
For I came to this earth to reclaim what was lost
And your pain and your sorrows were nailed to that Cross.

There were those who were there on that hill when I died
And my mother reached her arms out to me and  she cried
But the only way I bore all I did on that day
Was in knowing that My Father was just a heartbeat away.

No human being could comfort Me then 
As I paid the price for the wages of sin
Only My Father could ease all my pain
And I tell you, beloved, for you, He’ll do the same.

I see you there, you’re not alone
Your heart may be broken but I call it home
And I long to fill this house with joy 
And love and light but you must employ.

The gifts of the Spirit, the power of My word
Here’s the keys to your cage: Now go fly, little bird
Never think that I don’t care when I see you sitting there
Though you feel so rejected, you’re not rejected by Me.

And you think I don’t see you.........
But I see. But I see.

written for all of the invisible people in the "church" who don’t feel that they belong or are needed or cared about.
God’s heart is broken for these people and broken by the indifferent ones who don’t see the hurting, lonely, but precious sheep of His pasture
