The Tearing of the Flesh by Michele ( Micki ) Lowery © 2007 It was all very beautiful the day we were Wed We stood before God and our vows had been said For richer or poorer, for better or worse Til death do us part, what a beautiful verse We meant what we vowed and started our life With him as my husband and I as his wife We felt very blessed with the life that we had The trials and triumphs, both happy and sad And as the years passed, what we both didn't know Is love can't be felt if you don't let it show You settle for comfort instead of life's joy Then in roars the lion to steal, kill and destroy You're not sure what happened, you try at all cost To win back his heart, but your loved one is lost His soul has been stolen, one flesh torn apart You cry out to God for his soul and your heart Then God whispers softly, "My child, come here Put on your full Armor, for battle is near Pray and have faith that the devil's been beat Go wait in the light, lay your pain at My feet This battle is mine, your prayers have been heard My victory is certain, you know by My Word So walk by your faith, and not by your sight My Word is my promise, all wrongs will be right It may take some time, our ways aren't the same Keep love in your eyes and try not to blame Satan will shoot you with fiery darts To try to confuse you and harden your hearts Don't let him fool you with lies and deceit Keep your eyes fixed on Me and don't think of defeat For I AM the Lord, there's none stronger than Me And I will build hedges you can't even see So fear not my child and take up your Sword And walk right with Me, your Savior and Lord His hearts' like a river that turns in My Hand Just wait for My Promise while taking your stand Remember Beloved and rest while you sleep Your tears in a bottle forever I'll keep I AM the Restorer, I've spoken, it's done The Flesh torn apart will again become One" |
