A heart that's in pieces, so tattered and torn-
Can such a sore thing lift a song to the Lord? Will even a note rise from under the tears Or will it leave praises til “easier" years? The cry of my soul has so oft been the same "Unite this poor heart to seek only Thy name; A single affection, distracted by none!" For stars are all dim when compared to the Son. So grant eyes to see that, O Lord I now plead; My flesh grabs at others to gratify need They hurt and abandon; I’m lacking anew, For even Thy children cannot replace You. They leave this my heart so confused and in pain Since it yet considers their love to be gain. But Thou art sufficient, an ocean’s supply! They’re only a drop, but in Thee I have LIFE. I often still question my path that you form And ask why I must walk through shadow and storm. But Thy sovereign hand moves in goodness and pow'r So teach me to trust, every day, every hour. One day I’ll look back at the suff'ring endured And praise Thy good plan, for Thy love was so sure. Yet sin would it be should I wait til the end; In faith, rejoice NOW, and have no regret THEN. An act of the mind and a choice of the will, To throw off the chains that entangle me still Forgetting what’s gone and now striving towards light, I choose to obey by God’s grace and His might. So shout, O my soul, pour out praise to thy King! Though mightily heavy I charge thee to sing! A heart that’s in pieces, so tattered and torn, Indeed can give bountiful praise to the Lord!

AuthorHey, I'm Caelan! I'm a sophomore at Baylor University and love life and the world God has created for us to explore through learning, the arts, and the outdoors. But most of all, I seek to know HIM. Psalm 34:5 says that those who look to God are radiant. I desire to shine the radiance and glory of the Father, for from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. Soli Deo Gloria Archives
