She Left Christ on the Windowsill
Burdened by the weight
that she carries, that to her
seemed to go heavier by the day
and the world out there clamoring for her
waving and shouting out her name-
'there is no need for all that sacrifice,
there is no need for all that pain,
there is no need for living out for others
the world is your oyster
come on out and play some games'.
So try as she might with her own strength,
her arms finally weakened to their call
though her heart within her was broken
she succumbed and let her burden fall.
the cracks of her doubts seemed to widen
their reasoning appealed to her most
and so the guard was let down with a sigh
thinking- 'finally i can live my life'
not knowing it comes with such a great cost.
She started to forget who she really is
and packed all her things and left home.
She broke some hearts along the way
but all she wants is to be left alone.
She took all her valuables with her
but left one that sits on the windowsill-
an old picture of her beloved Jesus
whose voice she heard
for His word to fulfill...
So as she took one last look at that picture
her heart ached most to disappoint Him
but though deep inside there is some love left,
she took her bags and drove away to a life of sin.
And sitting there on her windowsill
in her empty room-
along with the leftover clothes and rubbish
was a picture of our Lord amidst the gloom.
Perhaps there were tears in His eyes too
as He watch her pack her things and go-
maybe his heart was quietly breaking
as her hand went for that front door.
But if there is one thing that is certain
if there is one thing that is true-
that our God is great and faithful,
and can make old things like brand new.
His Word came to accomplish
to claim every victory and answer every pray'r,
He will seek out every son and daughter
that is lost in the worlds sinful lair.
You might decide to leave Him somewhere,
and pretend you haven't met Him at all.
You might deny you ever knew Him,
and ignore every faithful call.
You might take all of your valuables and riches
and leave His memory behind
but Jesus' love for you is eternal
and in His heart your name is inscribed.
His compassion is like a flowing fountain
and His mercy is beyond compare-
so even if we oft'times forsake Him,
Christ will always forgive and forbear.
He will not loose a soul that belongs to Him
for we are kept in the bosom of His heart;
and under the token of His promise
no loved one from us will ever depart.
