Before God I was afraid.
Before God my journey was strayed.
Before God I freeze.
Before God I fall on my knees.
Before God I drop my desires.
Inside he starts his fire.
Before God purpose wasn’t real.
Before God I didn’t know I could heal.
Before God nothing else stands.
Before God my heart is safe in his hands.

My heart is safe in God’s hands, too. When my heart is breaking…it’s in God’s hands. In times of triumph and celebration…my heart is safe then. In every emotion between the two, God has my heart and it is safe. Beautiful, Mahaela!
