Literature Text

There is a season for everything.
A season to laugh, to cry, to dance, to mourn.
A season to harvest, a season to rest.
A season to dance, a season to weep.

Seasons fade away like dust in the wind.
Time fades away like the wind under the sun.
This world is decaying by the hour.
And yet something greater is coming up for this old ground.

For days, my heart weeps.
For days, my heart cries out Your name.
For days, my arms open for Your presence.
For days, my tears fall in Your presence.

Christ, You are the High Priest
You know my pain and You overcome.
Jesus, how thankful I am in my weeping.
Jesus, You are the High Priest and You are everlasting.

How thankful I am even in my weeping.
How thankful I am to sing Your song.
How thankful I am to pour out to You.
How thankful I am for Your mercy.

How thankful I am Jesus.
How thankful I am to weep in Your presence.
How thankful I am for Your matchless and amazing grace.
How thankful I am to be in the arms of Your presence.

Open my heart to You.
Open my arms high to You.
Breathe in me and overflow in me.
Jesus, how thankful I am for You.

How thankful I am; Your presence steadies my weeping heart.
How thankful I am to accept Your everlasting comfort.
How thankful I am for paying my heavy ransom.
How thankful I am to be called redeemed by Your cleansing blood.

How thankful I am Jesus.
How thankful I am to weep in Your presence.
How thankful I am for Your amazing grace.
How thankful I am to kneel at Your throne of glory.

Jesus, You are the High Priest
My heart openly weeps to You.
Take my life and lay it in Your presence.
What beautiful things You make out of me.

How thankful I am to sing Your everlasting glory; the joy of Your name.
How thankful I am to call You my King.
How thankful I am to surrender my life to You.
How thankful I am to call You my everything.

Jesus, You are the Eternal King.
How thankful I am to be Yours.
Take my life and my heart, and breathe into my weeping heart.
Take it all; it's all for You.

Jesus, my Eternal Friend.
Jesus, my Eternal Comforter.
There will never be any other.
There will never be any other.

How thankful I am my Eternal King.
How thankful I am to sing in the depths of Your infinite glory.
How thankful I am to weep in Your comforting presence.
How thankful I am to proclaim Your glorious name.

Jesus, how thankful I am.
Jesus, how thankful I am.
Jesus, my heart weeps and rejoices in Your name.
Jesus, how thankful I am.
Recently, I just experienced a break up from a relationship that lasted for one year and a half and when I wrote this along with many other poems, my heart still currently weeps that this beautiful relationship that I was experiencing had to end before I could even tell my parents. However, the good news is that God is still the author of all creation and He has reasons that fall into His perfect design, and while I still weep, God gave me joy in my heart to give Him praise and thanksgiving because not only does He deserve the praise and all glory goes to Him, but as my heart weeps I am overflowed with joy to know that God is the only God who knows my cries and turns my weeping into a song of joy. Glory to the Lord in the Highest forever and ever and awake in me a heart to continuously seek after His glory and keep my eyes on Him. And to those who are feeling the same, see this as encouragement that I have been diving my heart, eyes, and thoughts into because only in God will we truly live a life that is more than just ordinary (Jeremiah 29:11-13). And these are the top 5 things that I am thankful for and I lift these praises of thanksgiving to the Lord of all eternity.

1) Jesus
2) The 1 1/2 year relationship
3) Refuge College Ministry
4) Pastor Daniel Butson
5) My family and friends

I'm so sorry about your breakup, but you are right. The best thing now is to move on and try to be strong. I'm also recovering from relationships for myself. God has his reasons for these things. Amen.
