You tell me that if you seek me…you will find me…
but so many times…we look in the wrong places…
only to find you calling out our names…so many times we get weary…
You want my entire heart…you tell me to seek you with all my heart…

Seek my face…and you will find me…
I need your heart…and I’ll make myself visible before you…
I will hem you in…before and after…
Just because you can’t see me right now…I have found you…

I can see you…between your money tears…
I can heal you…of your many hurts…
I want to hold you…and hold you in my hand…
My heart beats for you my child…I hold your heart in mine…

There are many times…when there are things…
that seem to come between us…and there are many times I find you…
I have looked for you my child…and you have found me…
You have been in my sight all along…You are safe with me…

Dedicated to Keturah Leigh Shipman

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13

By his stripes…we are healed…
who is this man…that was cursed for our transgressions…
Took all my iniquities…and paid for them on the cross…
By your blood…you made me white…

I am healed by his stripes…
I am rescued by the cross…
I am standing in the light…
You are longing for me to come home…

Feeling abandoned…thinking about how you must’ve felt…
When you were alone…dying on the cross that should’ve been my own…
You took my death…just to give me life…
I want to remember…the life you offer of abundance…

You have given me life…when I took it from you…
You gave me freedom…You gave me forgiveness…
You offered to take my cross…and sacrifice your son for me…
I have been trying to understand…that which couldn’t be explained…

5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5 (King James Version)
