The Butterfly by Jennifer Godkin © 2007 One dark and rainy day brought a shadow in my life. Broken dreams and heartache brought alot of pain and strife. And in the darkness of an empty room I looked outside to find The rain streaming down my window, as I sat on the bed and cried. I felt my situation hopeless, and no ray of light shone through I had no thought for tommorrow; I didn't know what to do. Yet I looked outside my window and somehow through the rain I noticed there was a small cocoon webbed outside the window pane. I wondered what it was doing there, and hadn't much hope it would last I even wondered if it was left over dirt, I'd missed from summer past. So I put it out of my mind and left to do something more I left that empty room in grief, and closed the bedroom door. A month or two went by and changes brought fresh air And sunlight and the summer's warmth melted my despair The room was transformed into a place to bring my cares To a loving Saviour, who promised always to be there. A place where I felt His presence as I worshiped on that bed And a place where I could draw close to Him, and rest my weary head A room filled with many tears, that were replaced with all His joy A room that we had intended for "our son", our "little boy" It was replaced with a refuge and a shelter from the storm A place where my heart was healed, where I was transformed A room I longed to run to while I was slowly driving home Because I missed His presence while I worked on my own The more time I would spend there, the happier I seemed It was the place where I belonged, my favorite place to be. One bright and sunny day, brought a gleam of hope inside. I entered into that room, and looked outside to find That the cocoon that was webbed outside the window pane was gone And deep in my heart Jesus had written a new song. And as the music played I heard the words distinctly say "Behold I make all things new", and I saw a butterfly that day. |
