New Life

New Life There is new life inside of me anxious to get out I can feel it coursing through my veins like fire It keeps me awake sometimes as I lie in bed It keeps telling me I will find my heart's desire As much as I try to fight it, it's of no use I try to tell myself that I've given up on love But the flames inside of me refuse to die It won't let me forget all the things I've dreamed of I know where the fire comes from of course It comes from the one I serve, the one I love above all The one who's saved me countless times My God above who picks me up when I fall When I try to say I could never trust again God stokes the coals and says have patience my son When I say I won't take a chance on love again God tells me your days of true love haven't yet begun When I tell myself I'm just not meant to be married When I tell myself I've always been meant to stand alone God tells me to stop thinking such foolishness That one day He'll send me a love like I've never known God always reminds me not of what I've lost but what I've gained He tells me there's a reason I've weathered the storms and the strife He's got something more in store for me than what I've dreamed He tells me that I can't even imagine beauty of this new life Jeremiah 20:9 (Amplified Bible) 9If I say, I will not make mention of [the Lord] or speak any more in His name, in my mind and heart it is as if there were a burning fire shut up in my bones. And I am weary of enduring and holding it in; I cannot [contain it any longer]. John 14:1-3 (New King James Version) John 14 The Way, the Truth, and the Life 1 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. God bless everybody, Pete 6/3/10
