Sometimes I Get In The Way

My stubborn heart
By: Me

She remembers it hurt beautifully.

Starring at all the faces,

Thousands of faces.

Seeing again with new eyes.

Where had she been?

Who had she been?

Listening to all the voices,

Thousands of voices;

But one voice. 

They sounded like one voice.

Every hand lifted, 

Every heart beating,

Every eye searching,

He was there. 

 He heard them; He saw them.

In that moment she heard Him. 

Like a crackling thunder,

"I'm here."

She'd been searching for answers,

Crying out for a direction.

Staying faithful.

Here; tonight, Daddy's here.

"It's time you run with me, lace your hand in mine.

Look forward child, follow close behind."

She was only 14; when she heard a knock.

She was only 15; when God said, "I'll never walk away".

She was only 16; when His hand took hers. 

Now she's twenty something; walking with Him, holding tightly to that promise.

Even with my stubborn heart, You still promise.
