Wildfire - 1

He knows what the future holds
As He knows the here and now
He knows every small detail of
My heart, soul and spirit’s doubts
He knows about my sorrows and pains
Has healing in His every mercy
Gives me the opportunity to share
The feelings of my heart’s depths
The wonders that fill my dreams
The joy I feel when I think of Him

He knows about my fears and worries
Sees all the thoughts going through my head
Helps me to work up the needed courage
To face all my struggles with assurance
He knows how deeply I yearn for affection
And how I love to give love to others
Sees when I’m going in the wrong direction
Guides me through the unsuitable paths
Onto better avenues of joy and wonder

He knows about all my hopes and dreams
How I value the love I find in my family
He sees the pain that haunts me whenever
Some sadness reaches out to a loved one
Breathes sorrow through the black clouds
That surround the heart who knows that 
Love can be destroyed by doubt and loathing
Feelings that cause hearts to quack and break
From all the pain that cuts through the essence
Of one who longs for the joy of compassion

He knows what will happen before it ever does
Reaches down with His care before we feel
The pangs of pain and doubt that will come
When sorrow beckons us from the ruins of the ache
Found within a soul who holds on to the sting
of a wound that continues to penetrate the soul
with throbbing soreness that resembles torture
He is the only One capable of taking away
That grief that comes from the deepest of pain
When there is anguish that will not let go

He knows about us – our depths, heart and soul
Everything we think – everything we are
He knows our spirit’s wonders and wants
The hues of light that surround us with warmth
When we meet grace and find the way 
Toward letting go of the sadness and reaching out
To the gladness – the gift of His presence
Piercing our soul with the knowledge that 
We are loved more than we can ever know
With a love that is stronger than any hurt
A love that grows wiser with time and trial
Leaving our lives filled with sensations of thrills
Felt when God blesses a heart with a prayer
For giving from the heart the gift of His love
Love that is the answer to every worry or doubt
Love that sends hope to the hopeless
Love that brings light to the darkness
Love that lingers throughout the sad times
Love that shares life with mercy and grace
Love that is alive, dancing like wildfire
