Take my hand
I will show you the way
The way to a life of peace
For you, a life of joy awaits your weary soul
Shed no more tears
Waster not a moment more
Worry is but a distraction
It will bring nothing but distress
Vision becomes clouded
Experiences unsatisfied
Moments counted like birds on a wire
Waiting
Anticipating
Something less than grandiose
Something horrifying by human terms
For all hope is gone
Taken with the gentlest breeze
Pessimism your best friend
Haunted by the unknown
You remain locked up
Hidden from others
Hidden from self
Hidden from God
The stone blocks protect from nothing
All you know is sadness
All you understand is pain
Step outside your self-inflicted cell
Let the beauty of this world heal your wounds
Take my hand
Fear not, my friend, I will not lead you astray
For I, too, have been locked in a dungeness cave
I have lost my way
Frightened by my own shadow
The faintest chirp from a robin sent me running for cover
Listen, my friend, take my hand
Your stones only prevent you from a quick escape, nothing more
The elements still penetrate through the cracks
Your face weathered from the storms
Your nerves jumpy from the loud crashes of thunder
Lines show through the mud, tears have left their mark upon your face
Trust me
Take my hand
This life is filled with beauty
Filled with compassion
Filled with love
If you but take my hand I will help you see
No, do not wipe your eyes
I know they are sensitive to the sun
For your stone cave knows only darkness
You need not your eyes to see true beauty
Simply your heart
Yes, your heart
Think back, can you remember feeling anything other that fear
Other than trepidation
Take a deep breath
Release this fear
Take my hand
Feel my presence among your spirit
Refine through the cloudiness of your brain
The noise, I understand, is the distraction
Just concentrate on my hand
Feel my pulse
Think only of the beats
Now feel the beats
We have become one
One beat for two people
Souls connected in peace
Connected by God
Yes, I hear the commotion of the street
Ignore the shouting
Hear the whisper of the heart
Do you hear it?
It says that in you rests a great treasure
In you, resides a pure heart
Fear not the exposure of your heart to the cruelty of this world
The heart is anything but weak
Its strength can withstand that of a thousand soldiers invading their enemy
Your enemy...fear
Let go and let the heart heal
Take my hand
The ways of this world frighten
They mock so much that dubious thoughts are all you know
Or so you think
You know love
You know peace
For you God
And God knows you
You are a treasure, His treasure
You thought yourself hidden
True is you only hid from yourself
God knew your position
Your heart, His GPS
That's right, GPS...God's Pitch perfect Sonar
Your heart sends a signal
Today's signal is distress
So take my hand
God has sent me to you
Calm thy body
Listen with the heart
See with the soul
The beauty of this world awaits
God is speaking to you
Do your feel His love?
I have your hand now come out from your stone fortress
That's it, one step at a time
Let the beauty of this world envelop you
Be filled with awesomeness
Be filled with love, unconditional love
The warmth you feel is love
This love is God
God dwells in this world you fear
So toss fear aside and just accept love
Our bodies but vessels by which we are carried
Choppy waters my cause damage to the vessel but not the soul
For the soul every protected but the heart
Ever enveloped in love
The turbulent waters of the sea may even cause us to capsize
Fear not the heart is a buoy
The strength of the heart will be tested many times
Each time it will be victorious should you place your trust in God
Wasted ashore, the body in shock but the heart sharp
It knows the way home
GPS signal sent
And the arms of God embrace the fear
Leaving only love
Walk in this love here and now
Let love become your steps
Hide not even you face from this love
For this God's ultimate gift...unconditional love
That you may weather the many storms this life will bring
And rest in the love of God offered in the brilliance of the sun
Let the sun warm your heart that you may no longer shiver
Settle into the love of God
Feel each beat
This your connection to the Father
And when the day comes for the body to see its last storm
Your heart the protector
You the victor
For then your true life will begin
So fear not this world
It is but a stepping stone to life, true life in the Father
We catch but a glimpse of the truth as we settle into love
Settle, my friend, settle
Turbulence is but pressure changes, how were act to our surroundings
Act in love
React in peace
Accept the heart
Accept God's love
And see the beauty of this world
The soul will rest
Peace your gift
Enjoy what lies within you
Fear not what before you
For both are protected by the heart
Both are enveloped in the love of the Father
And you are his treasure
