Revelation

Just stop a moment, stay still
You are breathing
You are alive
Forget the world around you for just a minute
Forget your pain, forget your problems
Close your eyes, remain still
What do you see?

I see grace, I see mercy
I see where I was and I see where I am
In all my brokenness, he picked me up
He decided my birth place
He decided my birth parents
He chose me and told me I am his child.

From when I was ten years old
I sought after love and affection
I would blindly trust anyone
Who says anything nice to me
Naive, is how I would describe me
But he calls me his child.

It took me eight years after knowing Jesus
To finally give myself up
To pick up that cross and walk
I have seen rejection, I have been betrayed
I have been used and have been abused
And, I continue to see it more, now that I am his.

I'd want to give up
My ego is bruised
But a small still voice, gives me hope
Reminds me, though they reject you
You are accepted and belong to the king
Who died and rose again, what are you afraid of?

Though they reject you, you are not alone
You may be ignored, you may be a laughing stock
But he who is on the throne is faithful
You are his precious, he knows his sheep
He knows your heart, so stop and stay still
You are breathing, you are alive
And he calls you his child.
