Come to Me

My heart cries out for you
The life I had planned perfectly
How things change

What you would do for me
and what I would do for you
Complete perfection in our fellowship

You would have been able to see the joy
on your father's face the first time
you opened your mouth and called him "Daddy"

The first time your training wheels came off
when you fell off your bike
I would have been there to collect your tears

I promise you I would have been there
for your awkward time in middle school
braces, bad hair days, trying so hard to be cool

When you struggle with knowing my plans for you
I would have been there
yet you haven't cried out to me

And what about your wedding day
He's anxiously waiting for you at the altar
but you haven't showed up. You won't.

I'm sorry my beautiful girl
No one was there to support your mommy
She couldn't do it on her own

I want you to know she wanted you
She really loved you
but there was no one there

They told her she'd be alone if she kept you
There was condemnation
I'm sorry but she didn't know me then

You didn't get your chance to live
But know that I am still good
I wanted you to live, please know that

Yet now you are home with Me
and I am working everything to My glory
Even though then you did not live, your mommy now does

Her heart was broken, she was wounded,
I am the healer of the brokenhearted
I am binding up her wounds

My little girl, my precious daughter,
your mommy now knows Me
Rejoice with Me, one day you'll meet her!

She still aches for you,
but she trusts that you are in My arms
Do you see a little bit how I work?

I hate that My precious little ones are being terminated
but look at the beauty arising from ashes
This is who I am, this is what I do

I will not remove My love from them
Though they fall, I will pick them up
I am the God of forgiveness, the God of grace

I do not cast away any who come near Me
My own Son has paid the price for their error
If they would just turn to Me

I want to satisfy, fill, and heal them
To free them from the bondage of sin by the power of My Spirit
If they would just come to Me.

Come to Me.
