for you as a token of appreciation

I just want to say thank you all for your prayers and interest in me. This sight has really broadened my perspective on things and even though I still doubt sometime I have come to gain a biblical view that helps me work through the doubt and just "let the thoughts be there. I used to write lyrics about my walk and last night I decided to write again and in doing so I thought about everyone here I hope it encourages you all.

Wounded Healer
by Christopher West

I see you sitting all alone
wondering if I have shown
crying, your words seem lost
But I attend to every thought
I put the life back in your eyes
to look inside its as if you died
and you don't feel me but im here
breathing life in as you draw near


I am wounded and so are you
I am wounded all for you
Insults of which I bear
are insults that we both share
tonight......

Im your wounded healer
and you can be a wounded healer too

Tommarow you may not see
its for freedom I have set you free
as you hide away and run from me
but I can see past the suffering
when I take you through the night
you must trust in my guiding light
Behold the plans I have for you
a plan of hope to prosper you

see the scars on my hands
see the place that I stand
I will take you there
so you dont have to fear
tonight.....

I am a conquerer
and you are more than a conquerer in me


you can't see how much it pains me
that day by day your stumbling
like a wave double minded crashing down
that drowns out all hope that you have found

But know this that I allow
cause I know the why and how
and when you'll finally settle down
and rest in my arms again

I am wounded and so are you
I am wounded all for you
Insults of which I bear
are insults that we both share
tonight......

see the scars on my hands
see the place that I stand
I will take you there
so you dont have to fear
tonight....

you don't feel me but I'm here
waiting for you again

That's absolutely wonderful.. thank you so much for sharing that! I truly appreciated that, and you have an amazing writing talent. Did you write that in just one sitting? And do you sing as well?

This site has been such a blessing to me too. I haven't posted in this section of the forum all that much, but I'm a struggler as well, and have found much comfort in the fellowship here. Thank you for the acknowledgement, OptimisticSmile. Keep on being a blessing.

I dont sing well but my brother and I have done some songs together with my lyrics. I believe that writing is a passion God has given me and im reminded of how Paul was able to heal some people yet he himself had a thorn that remained in his life. I see the same in me like God uses me to encourage others yet I myself am often not encouraged. I did write it in one setting.

ok here is another and the idea came from what grace alone just said about the thorn as you will see.

Roads of choices with no plans
A straightened path in your hand
I fear for the long haul
But looking back its worth it all

so impatient in this day
my own way is not your way
living superficially
Reach into the heart of me

Chorus
I’m waiting, in my cocoon
Changing, it’s all from you
Spring is coming round
Your newness abound
in me

Verse 2
tides of triumph and valleys of doubt
you take me along to love out loud
and I fear for the long haul
But looking back its worth it all.

so impatient in this day
my own way is not your way
living superficially
Reach into the heart of me

Chorus repeats:

Interlude:
in spite of what you aren't to me
and because of who you are to me

in spite of the thorn you placed in me
and because of the thorn you placed in me

I Fly

Chorus
I’m waiting, in my cocoon
Changing, its all from you
Spring is coming round
Your newness abound
in me
