You are pure and lovely, child you are mine.
As I gently presue you, I battle for your mind,
To think of things of heaven, not of this loft world.
For what I want to give you is more valuable than pearls.
So child stop your searching and open up your ears, for what I'm trying to tell you, I've been whispering for years.
Take the time to know me, for I know all of you.
When you give up all you carry I will gladly lead.
I'm the lover of your soul, the cracked, messy, bruised
But if you'd only turn to me it's brokenness you lose.
I don't need perfection, no that's why I called your name,
For in your weakness, I am strong and love you still the same.
So child please quit striving, I see you weary eyes
Come and rest your head now and let our every cry.
For all I ask is your heart, completely as whole,
But not all put together because that's where I unfold,
My mercy and my love as I slowly change your heart
From bruises to my banner and give you a brand new start.
