broken.

the broken heart within you causes me great distress.
i weep in your midst as i see the suffering your temple is subjected to.

endless nightmares keep you from rest.
anxiety and idols terrorize you

always in pursuit but never finding peace
never with joy, always with sorrow.

the dark shadows hide your insecurities.
you fall deeper into the void of lies and deceit

you flee from that of infinite value
and your temple is in decay before my eyes.

you never forgive, never forget, and refuse to surrender
how far will you go before you've reached the point of no return?

how far can you go before i stop loving you?

showers of refreshing love and hope await
i long to cleanse you and make you whole.

will you come and indulge in this sweet water of life?
will you allow it to pour over you, to wash away your tears and stains?
or will you flee from new life and forever pursue the lies and darkness that beckon you?

it's not too late to be made new.
