Heart Cut Open and Love Poured Out

The other day I looked into Heaven

To see what You were about.

I never expected to see You cut Your heart open

And pour Your love out.

I could never have imagined,

Not in the wildest dream,

Of what that torrent would look like,

How overwhelming it would seem.

I’ve seen You armed for combat;

I’ve seen You dressed for war.

But Your love was as fierce as Your battle cry;

It was a call I could not ignore.

It wasn’t warm and fuzzy;

It didn’t soothe my fears.

It told me who I am supposed to be,

No more surrounded by mirrors.

This love demands an answer;

I cannot hold it in.

Keeping it to myself will stop it—

It’s time for the response to begin.

So I keep that image close,

I let Your love consume me.

Then I open the floodgates of my heart

And let You flow free.
