I Remember When...

I remember when..

I remember when my feet could not dance.

I remember when my heart could not cry.

I remember when I could not stand.

I remember when..

I remember when my lips could not sing.

I remember when my body could not praise.

I remember when my eyes could not see.

I remember when..

I remember when all was lost & my heart yearned but my mind told me to be afraid.

I remember when my body was numb & all I wanted was to feel my flesh cry out.

I remember when..

I remember when my hearts cry was louder then my fear.

I remember when Love sang over me because He heard my cry.

I remember when Redemption carried me because shame held me down.

I remember when...

I remember when the Lion of Judah shouted my name.

I remember when the sound of His voice scattered all my oppressors.

I remember when...

I remember when He gave me His eyes to see.

I remember when I saw Him protect me from death.

I remember when...

Now His heartbeat is what brings my feet dance.

Now His praises are on my lips.

Now His breath is in my lungs.

Now my days are filled with my first Love.

And I am overwhelmed....
