My Heart Is Breaking

It's been almost 12 months since I last posted anything up here, and I'm not 100% sure when my next post will be.  I also haven't written anything since the previous poem that I posted, so it's been a while and I have certainly missed writing!

I don't know that this is going to be quite what you were expecting when you read the title of this post.  While it does mix some strong emotions, these are the words I hear God crying out (hence why it's written in first person) to anyone, particularly those in a "Christianized" society, who do not yet have a personal relationship with Him.  These are the lyrics to my new song:  My Heart Is Breaking


My Heart Is Breaking

 V1
 You pass me by
As though I'm just not there
My Name you cry
Although you don't really care
Am I nothing to you?
Oh, why can't you see?
I gave all I am;
I gave all I have
For you on Calvary

C
My heart is breaking for you.
Won't you see Me standing here?
My arms are open for you.
I'm never far; I'm always near.
Why won't you turn from your own ways?
Live with Me for the rest of your days?
My heart is breaking for you.

V2
No other name
Saves, but the name of Christ
Only He can lead
Out of darkness into light
Won't you drop your burdens
At the foot of the cross?
Christ was crucified.
Now He's raised to life,
So that you could be free!

B
So just cry out,
And I will hear.
I feel your pain;
See every tear.
You are my child,
And I love you.
So call My Name;
Live life anew.

How we often break the heart of God and pass Him by as though He is not there! Well done on a very nicely written piece with deep thoughts. God bless.
