My Lord Told Me

My LORD told me that HIS love would not fail,
as HE showed me a hand that was pierced by a nail.

HE told me I'm safe, started lifting the veil,
then my eyes became clear, I saw what life entails.

I saw beauty without measure and felt love's complete peace,
I willfully surrendered but felt no trace of defeat.

I listened to my heart and caught the rhythm of its beat
as HE says our hearts are one and that this is where love meets.

HE told me that I'm HIS and HE'd never let me go,
HE just thought that I should know.

If there ever comes a time in life that's really low,
look back to where our hearts met so that love can begin to show.

I smiled as I heard a melody of joy dancing through the sky. 
It was my LORD singing this song to me of words I can't deny.

HE said HE fought the battle and won it for me, there's no need in asking why
because HE's true, loving, faithful, and kind--with HIM I will never die.

I cried at the sound of HIS words for me, my tears soaking my face
HE reached down and wiped the tears away and said, "No need for tears in this place."

I said, "LORD, why would you do this for me? My life has been such a disgrace."
HE said, "Say no more, for it is done and my FATHER has dismissed your case."

"Have trust in ME, as I in you, your life begins today,
though you may stumble along the path, I'LL help you keep your way."

"I'LL never let you fall again, never lead you astray. 
For your sins have all been forgiven my love, and for them you will never pay."
