Broken Pieces

Broken Pieces

Written by Justina Braun Aug.20/13

Lord, please come near, so that I can feel You in this place.

Hold me, because I really need to feel Your embrace.

Father, please stay close by me.

I pray you won't leave me, this is my plea.

Father, when my hope is loss,

I remember You suffering on the cross.

I see You everywhere when I look around,

And I feel you near when my pain surrounds!

All around me I see the work of Your hand,

But I still don't understand,

Why You stay,

After all You've done for me, and I still stray.

Lord, I'm broken and on my knees.

Your forgiveness is what I need.

I come humbled and ashamed to Your feet,

Work in me, so that the world will see You in me.

Oh My Little Dears

Oh My Little Dears

Oh my little dears,

I hurt for all your fears.

Just let it out, and shed some tears,

Because life has just begone, and to come are many years.

Oh little one, please take my hand.

We'll go have some fun in the sand.

We'll work with all your fears and hurts so you can understand,

But for now lets see what fun games are planned.

I see in your heart,

A ragging battle start.

Do I trust or do I dart, 

And if I do will this time be smart?

Little one just keep trusting your heavenly Father above.

By Him you'll always receive love.

He's always by your side like a fitting glove,

And think of Him when you see a dove.

When you think you're alone, a tune you sing,

And hearing this, joy it brings

To the Angels in heaven and to the King

Just to know that you've found reason to sing means something.

I catch myself inwardly crying when I see you cry.

So much pain is just too much to bear for such a little girl or guy.

Oh little dears, just come to me and your tears I'll dry.

And trust me, If I could I'd always be near and never say bye!

A Friend In The Storm

A Friend In The Storm

Lisa, the person I've been lucky to befriend.

She has become a very dear friend.

When my courage seemed just a strand,

She encouraged and lend a hand.

Both our worlds knew of great sorrow,

And together we've found renewed hope for tommorrow.

We've read many promises for if we stay true,

That someday, our lives will change and we'll make it through.

Lisa, thanks for showing me there's hope for my future,

And that life for us has many more adventures.

Keep on fighting for the grand prize in sight,

And for truth, keep always on the fight.
