Hold You

"How often I’ve longed to gather your children,
like a hen, her brood safe under her wings –
but you refused and turned away" – Jesus Christ.
Matthew 23:37






Let Me wrap My arms around you

and love your pain away

Shower you with kindness

Whisper, “It’s okay!”

~~~

Grief that looks out from your eyes

will shortly disappear

As held within My warm embrace

I urge you not to fear

~~~

Come closer now and you will feel

this beating of My heart

Rest your soul upon My chest

Let Me peace impart …

~~~

A fresh sense of security

not in earthly things

but in the certain refuge

of the shadow of My wings
