What is this?
I hate it
I loved it
It was all I wanted
It is what I cannot have
It is what I miss
It is you
It is the piece of your heart you left to me when you left me
It is the thorn in my side
It is the gravestone of a thousand dreams
It is the piece of your heart you left to me
It is something I hold
It is something I will be held accountable for
It is something I will stand before God with
I will be asked what I did with it
Is this my sacrifice? To love what broke me?
This piece of your child’s heart – it was sunshine to my joy
And a knife to my soul
How do I love my enemy?
This poisonous piece
Am I to love that?
Yes – Jesus did
Jesus loved Judas
Jesus loved Peter
Jesus loved all
Jesus loved to his own hurt
Jesus loved
And I am also to love
So God I pray
Teach me to love this piece
Lead me with this piece
That I may stand before You faithful even in this
That You may say, “Good and faithful servant” even with this
Lord, heal me, heal with me
Lord, have Your way.
