Angel song

Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing."
NIV Proverbs 12:10

What happens to a body when it breaks?
Shattered into pieces by evil man
Plundering her jewels making her ache
To fill his selfish lust in bloody sand.

She hurts and cries and searches ev'rywhere
In silent shame and grief there's no relief
She thinks she's spoiled beyond all good repairs
Lonesome, battered, bruised by ugly thief.

Her body longs for healing; there is none
Only persecution and more wet rain
What once was joy can never now be fun
She hurts with guilt; takes pills and feels insane.

How can her damaged soul now be repaired?
When ev'ry touch and feel relives her plight
Until a trusting Angel from somewhere.
Can kiss away all sorrow in her night.

And over time some new bells chime, with song
When God comes, lives inside them healing wrong.

Rebirth restores her soul in Angel song.

Angel song.

Newell darling boy OH MY how beautiful is this? Absolutely exquisite writing, the lines fall from the lips like the gentle tears of a love ended too quickly to bear its destined fruit. This is simply stunning writing, utterly utterly stunning

Do I love this yes you know I do

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

(big huggsssssss) Oh Newell, this is so wonderfully heartfelt, God Bless You, I too was a victim of these words and abuse as a little boy and now I have looked to Him and have found that wisdom indeed replaces wounds and only strengthens a person far beyond their potential before! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, you have the heart of an angel, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Newell, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
