Pain ripped through my upper spine
Muscles tightening, grimacing in pain
Trying to rise up from the chair,
Praying to Abba Father to take away
The pain.
Then in an instance a more severe pain
Came like no other experience,
An aching in my heart caused by bitter
Angry words, piercing through the heart
Like the ripping pain in my upper spine
Only with more intensity;
Reminding me if I am not open to forgive,
Seeds of bitterness and hurt wii take root
And render my heart cold and unloving.
Please Heavenly Father, keep me humbly
At your feet in humility with your strength
And grace to turn the other cheek to display
Your Love.
Still my tongue too, O LORD, especially
During adverse times so that during
hostile times, the radiance of your
Countenence would be seen upon me
For your Love is a quiet strength.
