Heart Cry
Dear reader: This piece is my gift to be used in the healing of the abused.
Touch my wounded heart, oh God
Let me feel Your healing power
I’m hurting inside, oh God
Hear my cry to You right now
The past I cannot forget
It tortures me every day and night
I can’t sleep, oh God
How can I defeat the accusing voices?
Tears have been my food day and night
Feeling like a failure I am
My mind knows the truth of who I am
My heart feels so ugly inside
My blessed child I feel your tears
I never abandoned you
Take My hand in your mind
Let Me heal you within
Father, take this smoldering anger away from me
I can carry this hate no more
Let Your love flow into me
I’m angry at You and my abuser
My beloved child I hear your soul
Waves of heartache come over you
I don’t expect you to understand
I was with you when you were abused
I tried to get your abuser to listen
To not hurt you in any way
The abuser’s heart was hardened to Me
I couldn’t get through their wall of rage
Know this to be true
I have always loved you
My Son gave His life for you
That inside you could be healed
Father, I still don’t understand
Who am I to be worthy of Your love?
I feel so ugly inside
There is nothing beautiful about me
My sweet child you’re not the lies you’ve been told
Feel and know how beautiful you are
You’re the apple of My eye
You’re fearfully and wonderfully made
Thank you, Father, for loving me
Wounded, broken as I am
I feel Your healing touch right now
You have heard the heart cry of my soul
I feel and know I’m beautiful to You
Help me see how beautiful I am
I give You all my anger, oh God
Make of me a new creation
My dear child I hear your prayer
Know I’m always there
I’m only a heart cry away
Trust Me every day
I’ll be with you all the way
I’ll be with you all the way
