There I Stood -Wise Owl Lady 10/12/2014

'I stood there alone in the darkness, 
Watched the bats fly around me in my darkest hour,
No soul, no being from this world could tame 
this broken heart;
She had become as cold as death, 
All emotions and tears no longer could she shed,
The blood from her aching heart no longer bled... 

There I stood as bitter as a could be, 
No remorse, no pity, no sympathy could I give;
Oh how the wrath consumed me, 
A past that I never could fully understand, 
Yet somehow I had to live...

Dreams and visions seemed so far away, 
Running in the fields of my childhood 
seemed to bring me somehow back...
The Lord knew how lost I was, 
but what I had to suffer, 
The consequences for every action, 
The loss of everything I could have ever loved, 
The battles of a troubled, ignorant heart, 
All to find myself in Him.

There I stood with the rain pouring down upon my face,
And did I fall to my knees ashamed with disgrace, 
But what was that? A tear did I feel? 
Did something rip me open and show me what was real?
How did I receive His Mercy?
And was his Law revealed unto to me...
Did I even deserve such a thing? 

There I stood, and suddenly I felt...
Never knowing that I could know true warmth, 
As the Sun shown through my clouds, 
And how He allowed me to see,
He brought me up to stand strong on both feet;
Never in my life had I ever felt so free, 
And there before Him I saw eternity, 
Despite my self humility,
My soul could believe that He foreknew my destiny,
And I knew that I was safe,
All my fears seemed to evaporate... 

There I stood, my fortress strong, 
Who knew His love was the strongest weapon of all?
A mission took the reigns of my life, 
Steered me towards a righteous plight, 
My wings have taken flight, 
How glorious is it to finally have put on 
the armor of Christ!
And with the time of his return nigh, 
Have I marked myself as His daughter,
With his guidance, shall I through all my strife, 
Forever walk in the light.
