A Heart for God

His Exceptions – laura vanbukirk

I’m ready to move on Dear Lord, to follow the path I’ve avoided for so long

Wincing at the consequences of choices and people I had wronged

But deep down my heart always turned to you, in the darkest depths of my despair

Though I knew I lacked perfection, I was torn feeling that you were unfair

And I didn’t want to care, no I tried to not care.

The eyes see things the mind distorts, and I’m blinded by a burning wall

With every joint aching inside, I was fearful of giving you my all

I had to throw away who I once was, immersing into the waters of redemption

For a new life of love and hope, ridding my heart of pride and contention

Realizing I was an exception, we are all an exception.
