(For any of us who have felt the chilling effects of pain on our hearts. There is a warmth that cuts through and melts the ice that has formed that hard spot.)
Icicles melt with the warmth of Your heart
I can feel the sharp edges disappear from each part…
Those places where coldness invaded my soul
Subtle cooling turned freezing and ice was the toll
Chilled bricks first so tiny, somehow built a wall
Cold to the touch, impenetrable
Still…
Once ice was just water, flowing and free
Till the ice box of pain trapped the water in me
The temperature plunged in that one tiny pocket
Shivering, longing for Someone to unlock it
Ice picks of guilt tried to cut through the cold
Shame took a stab, while grief grabbed ahold
But ice begets ice and pain soothes no pain
And icicles formed out of what was once rain
Until…
The Son shined its rays on that cold place in me
Love opened the icebox with its unfailing key
The ice was no match for the warmth of the Son
The freezing was over, the melt had begun
Ice turned to water, now water flows free
Through the hands of the Son, whose love rescued me…
