There is a place where lovely dreams come true
Where your heart is transformed, you become truly you
Where the memories of nightmares fade from your view
And the skies turn the color of the blues you once knew
There is a place where you meet your best Friend
On a road marked with bumps and unforeseen bends
A place where your heart only He can mend
As He takes the pieces, makes you whole again.
There is a place of intimacy sweet
Where you have been burned and are scorched by the heat
A place where mercy and your ashes meet
To create a new fire that burns, now complete.
There is a place where good things grow
A garden of dirt where no one would know
That a seed has been planted, it doesn’t yet show
But flowers will come where the Gardener did sow.
There is a place where a perfect butterfly
That once lived in a cocoon so lonely, dark, dry
Emerges beautiful and bright and finds it can fly
Once a lowly caterpillar, now its only limit – sky.
There is a place where ugliness brings you to your knees
Where pain and doubt and fear is all your heart can see
But somewhere in that darkest place is right where He will be
Holding you with all His might, yet soft and tenderly
Until the clouds have passed and the rain has left its bow
And you see the brilliant colors that now begin to show
If not for the stormy night, this beauty you’d not know
If not for times of darkness, your soul would never grow
Beauty from the ashes, great joy from endless pain
Light found in the darkness, rainbows from the rain
Shattered pieces on the ground, put together once again
A heart and soul now beautiful, will never be the same…
Philippians 1:6 – …being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
