Please Give Me Your Heart

PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR HEART

 

To retaliate is human

When no wrong was done

And you’re not hurting anyone

Yet you’re accused as a foolish man

 

Just because you’re so good

For the miracles they came to behold

All the truth that you have told

And all the rebukes that you’ve been so bold

 

They stoned you with their blasphemous words

Challenged you with their humiliating insults

They gave you enough or numerous reasons

To fight for yourself against their actions

 

But you remained quiet and calm

For you know where you came from

No need to wrestle for the present kingdom

For your throne is still yet to come

 

When I think about what you’ve been through

Imagining the faces of those people who mocked you

If you’ll ask me if I want to explode, yes, I do

I could have destroyed them all if I were you

 

Knowing who you are and where you came from

The creator of all and the God of all wisdom

Knowing your intention for leaving your kingdom

To mistreat you harshly was such a damn

 

It’s a good thing that you’re not me

For if you are it’s gonna be crazy

And I will never be here today

Enjoying your bountiful mercy

 

This knowledge I have about you

Prompts me to desire to be more like you

Teach me how to respond the way you do

Let me hold my peace whatever I go through

 

You alone can make these things possible

For without you I could do nothing at all

To rejection, insult, and shame I am so vulnerable

Please be there to catch me when I fall

 

Help me to see each person according to your lens

Enable me to love everyone without expectations

Please give me your heart for all the lost souls

And allow me to accept whatever your will is

John 18:10-11 & 19:7-9

 

10 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. 11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

 

 

7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; 9 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
