1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
New Living Translation (NLT)
16 Always be joyful. 17 Never stop praying. 18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
What would it be like
To pursue you
To go after your heart
To seek your love
Your love above all else
Untainted
Unconditional
Unending
No Strings Attached
The greatest love
The purest love
Secure
Wholesome
Without fail
Knowing all flaws
All secrets
All falls
Knowing everything
And still the choice is to love
To love me
You love me
Before I could even ever
Love you
You hold me close
Even in the midst of
Storms heavy rains pouring down
Heavy winds tossing my sanity about
You are my hope
My Joy
The reason to smile
My reason to smile
Even this storm will pass
At my weakest point
In my ugliest moment
At the time where the world
The world would label me some monster
(IDK sounds poetic, whatevs my sad heart writes IDK why I'm sad)
You take off those layers
You reveal what beauty really is
And you love me with
A love
A love that is
Untainted
Unconditional
Unending
What would it be like
To pursue you
To go after your heart
To seek your love
It would be
Peace
When the whole
World is falling apart
It would be hope in difficult times
Knowing someone holds me
It would be one day
Finding myself in a place
Without tears suffering weeping or pain
For even if I lose my whole life
Through Christ it is eternal life I gain

His Children
We were never meant to be
Children of sorrow
Children of sadness
But children of the God most High
Heaviness
This weight
Crushing
Our lungs heaving
Trying
Struggling
To breathe
But barely
Our breaths finally escape our chest
A chest overwhelmed
Under a boulder of stress
A heart tangled in the world's mess
Tired eyes and minds without rest
We were never meant to be
Children of sorrow
Children of sadness
But children of the God most High
Who comes near
He comes near
Wipes each tear from our eyes
Comforts us
A God
A loving Father
Past memories remain
But He takes the sting from the pain
Our brokenness made whole
He will carry you
He will care for you
Don't lose heart
He will bring back
Praises from your lips
To say God you remain
Constant
Good
Though sorrows throw us about
You will say again
God you remain
Though the world is saying fall
Over into the sea
Drown
Die
Yes the world wants you to die
Drowned by sorrows
She's demanding
Yet if you CLING to God
In those moments
The world can shake you
But if you CLING to God
You'll still be standing
Yes you are not children of sorrow
Not Children of saddness
But children of the God most high
Children of sorrow
Children of sadness
But children of the God most High
Heaviness
This weight
Crushing
Our lungs heaving
Trying
Struggling
To breathe
But barely
Our breaths finally escape our chest
A chest overwhelmed
Under a boulder of stress
A heart tangled in the world's mess
Tired eyes and minds without rest
We were never meant to be
Children of sorrow
Children of sadness
But children of the God most High
Who comes near
He comes near
Wipes each tear from our eyes
Comforts us
A God
A loving Father
Past memories remain
But He takes the sting from the pain
Our brokenness made whole
He will carry you
He will care for you
Don't lose heart
He will bring back
Praises from your lips
To say God you remain
Constant
Good
Though sorrows throw us about
You will say again
God you remain
Though the world is saying fall
Over into the sea

Drowned by sorrows

But if you CLING to God
You'll still be standing
Yes you are not children of sorrow
Not Children of saddness
But children of the God most high
