Some things, we simply cannot tell, to those we care about
What if they'd get the wrong idea, and change their mind, or doubt?
Perhaps they'd see that I am weak, when they believe I'm strong
Or maybe they're convinced I'm right, when actually I'm wrong.
What if they took it really bad, and rumors start to fly
My reputation badly stained, and things intensify?
People often fail us---imperfection in us all
We tend to form opinions and to be so critical.
Sometimes the words just are not there when feeling really low
We can't quite put our finger on, what's wrong with us, and so...
We'll spend a lot of energy to bury it inside
In hopes that it will go away---we'll keep preoccupied.
When sin first entered in the world, we quickly figured out
What disconnection (being alone) was really all about.
It started in the garden then, and happens still today
The gaps in our relationships, and in ourselves, displayed.
Jesus knows our every hurt, our pain, our raw frustration
Even those we keep inside to bear the full duration.
He is the One who fills the gaps and makes our lives complete
He longs for us to come to Him our needs, for Him to meet.
He sees the ugliness we have, and loves us all the more
He died so that we all might have relationship restored.
Jesus is a better friend than anyone could be
He wants for us to be with Him for all eternity!
Let Jesus fight your battles pour out your heart to Him
He's patient, and He's gentle, and He really understands.
Please take the time to get to KNOW the One I'm speaking of
There's NOTHING more important than discovering His love!

This is absolutely great Jer.  The flow, the message, everything.  I love it!  Great job!

Life is pretty much empty and meaningless till His love is dicovered.  Very well done, Jer.
