Turn Ye

Turn ye all
unto me and hear
and your soul shall
live. Turn you even
to me saith the Lord
and I will lift you,
I will lift you. I will
lift you up. I will bring all
to pass, I will change
your circumstances,
your last chances,
your bleeding heart,
your narrow path,
your lonely days,
your lonely ways,
your crying nights
your fearful fights,
your sorrow to joy.
I will change the dark
to light your path to
bright. No hope to
hope, to longings
not met. I will meet and
greet with  loving kindness
and mercy. I will change
and rearrange your
death to life, your
strife to life.
Your pain to gain
your nights to light
to light to bright
Like the sun in the noonday
It will comfort you
guide you, protect you
love you, love all
the days of your life.

Little One

Oh little one you were created to live
not knowing the pain of
rejection
humiliation
misunderstanding
would come upon you.

You were soft in your mother's womb
growing and feeling safe
waiting for the moment
to know the one who carried you
and thinking of all the things you would be someday.

But as the merciless poison filled your
warm world
the pain of
rejection
humiliation
misunderstanding
filled your mind

And no one heard you saying, but
"I want to live"
"I want to live"

You were discarded in the dump ground
of others just like you
who cried just like you
who hoped just like you
Oh little one you were created to live.
-Allison

Cause Me

Cause my eyes to see
may they be focused on thee
in the midst of my longing heart
hear the beat
the crying deep
troubled mind be silenced with ears
brightened with eyes
than the light that brings a message sure
the song with melodies stir
hope springs anew no more adieu
and my heart captured by you.
