Fragile

A heart is fragile

When a heart is open 

To The Lord,

A heart is delicate,

When it is always opening the door.

The door to love and tenderness

The door to trust and hope

The door of reckless abandonment,

And complete reliance on The Lord

But a heart is strong in weakness,

While God is guiding the path

We must keep walking,

Not straining to look back. 

We must trust in His timing,

His ability to restore,

We must seek Him out in all things,

Knowing he'll turn this into more.

But a heart is broken

That can't love,

A heart that doesn't know how.

A heart is broken 

That fears love,

And breaks the unbreakable vow. 

Our hearts need prayer 

And sacrifice,

The perfect sacrificial love;

Our hearts need purification 

And guidance,

Our hearts must be vulnerable to love.

Vulnerable hearts within us,

Is what God knows we need.

We fight Him on this notion,

Trying to take control and lead.

We fear being hurt and broken,

We fear being let down.

In a world so wicked and broken, 

It's a surprise we love at all.

But through Christ 

Love can be made perfect,

We can Trust Him to guard our hearts.

But I choose to love, too,

No matter how I get ripped apart.

You see, I'm not naive, 

I know the world is cold.

I'm not foolish,

I recognize that I've been fooled. 

But I choose to see the good in others,

I choose to love them through the storms.

I recognize all as children of God,

And because of this,

I'll continually love them more. 

Some call that stupid, 

Some call it naive,

But I call it loving as Christ loved,

And not paying mind to sinful deeds.

The world brings sin and wickedness,

The hearts mistrust stems from fear,

But God restores the broken,

And loves us through our tears. 

If God can love everyone, 

Then surly I will too. 

You see, It's easier to love,

Then to search for flaws in you. 

We are all flawed and broken,

But through Christ we're beautifully made,

So we seek out the good in others,

And cast aside the wickedness 

That controls the world today.
