Especially dedicated to a very special young woman ~ strong, beautiful, intelligent and talented ~ who holds a very special place in my heart... Praying she finds it an encouraging blessing written in love and bathed in prayer

I would lift you up from the pits of hell,
Wake you up from your imprisoning spell;
I would fly you high into the heavens above
For no other reason than my own pure love.

I would chase away the shades of despair,
Gladly free your soul from the Liar’s snare;
I would give you peace with open hands,
And guard you safely from enemy bands.

I would open your eyes to see your worth,
From the womb of God, new life to birth;
Then to heavenly port would sail you away,
To finally live in the joy of unending day.

Yes, if I could, I would; would lift you up…
