We sat in the dust
Just wondering how
Surrounded by darkness
A thick wall of resistance
Our persistence fades
Wells so dry;
Our children cry for wellness
We sat in the dark with empty stomach
Tears in our eyes;
Like lonely birds on broken branches,
Drenched in cold; after the hurricane
Just wondering why;
Our wings are so heavy for a routine flight
The candle in our hearts; snuffed out
The wicked gloats over us
Our belly bloat with regret
Blown away into the unknown
Disowned by the reality of our lost
We remembered our Kinsman Redeemer
Our hearts; filled with redemption theme
Our mouths; wet with redemption songs
He is near;
I know my redeemer lives
He is near;
Even now, there is hope
In-spite of hopeless gravity
We looked beyond our depravity,
Into His eyes;
Mercy said; No
Our hearts said; Yes
Prison doors burst open
Light shine in our darkness
Chains fell off from our wounded souls
For the price of my freedom;
You were wounded with my chains
Yes, you took the blame and changed the game
You are the hope I hope;
Jesus
Bread of life
Savior friend
My Redeemer
Lilly of the valley
Rose of Sharon
Lamb of God
My Shepherd
Hope of Israel
Light of the world
Ezra 10:2 ESV … “We have broken faith with our God and have married foreign women from the peoples of the land, but even now there is hope for Israel in spite of this.

Wow! This is absolutely beautiful. I LOVE this line, “Like lonely birds on broken branches”. That says so much in few words. I can relate to that image but find comfort in knowing my Branch, Jesus Christ, is my strength. Bless you for sharing these wise words with us!

Yes definitely beautiful … thank you so much for sharing … I like the same line that Heather likes too plus this one “Our wings are so heavy for a routine flight” … reminds me of the terrible burden that we carry upon us until we let the beautiful Saviour lift that burden from us … He frees us so we are ready for flight, no matter the distance or circumstance. Once hopeless, now full of hope.
