if you think you've been forgotten,
you are not.
if you think you are alone,
you are not.
if you think you are small,
you are not.
if you think you're a coward,
you are not.
if you think you're unworthy,
you are not.
if you think you are unloved,
you are not.
you're alive.
your heart is still beating.
and in your heart lies fire
in your heart there is a spark
that will never fade
in your heart lives hope
and a chance to start anew.

i am smaller than the stars
and You think i shine
brighter than all of them
You think i am more
beautiful than any constellation.

all i ever wanted
was to be loved by You
and instead You
made your heart my home
You kissed my tears away
and filled the void in my soul
and turned my sorrow into dancing
and made my brokenness beautiful
and placed a crown on my head
and called me yours.
all i wanted was your love
and You gave me life.

i just want
to be with You,
to be alone,
to walk with You
and to hear the
gentle whisper
of your voice.

when it's raining in your heart
i will put my umbrella over it.
when your coffee is bitter,
i will be the sugar.
when your heart is breaking
i'll buy a hundred band-aids.
when you're feeling small,
i'll tell you that you're brave.
when you're feeling tired,
i will let my shoulders be your pillow.
wherever you are,
there i'll be.
whatever you need,
here is me.

today,
i heard your
voice.
i heard your
song for me.
i heard you
and You said that
You loved me,
that You loved
me yesterday and
that You'll love me
tomorrow
and You said it
in every language
and You whispered it
and You shouted it
from the rooftops
and You didn't stop
singing
until i believed it.

when will you see the stars that shine in your heart?
when will you hear the music that your soul is singing?
when will you see the sweetness of your spirit, the kindness of your heart?
when will you see the brave warrior living in your soul?
when will you believe that you are loved?
when will you see the threads of grace woven in your hair?
when will you look at yourself in the mirror and see all that you can be?
when will you see who you are?
