Way deep down inside me is a place where I keep it. It doesn't take up a huge amount of space. Thankfully, it rarely escapes, mainly because God's grace,forgiveness, and peace! But every so rare often it rises up and screams from within me with a deep soulful groan and tears. Since I have began blogging, I have wanted to express some of it, but it hasn't been as easy as I thought it would be. I tried to write a poem about it- I just sobbed. God knows it all and that is so good! He loves me and has totally forgotten my sin and replaced it with life.
All of a sudden this song appeared. It's called "In My Daughters Eyes". I have listened to the words of the song two times. Both time I balled like a baby! Have you heard the song? It's by Martina McBride. It is a beautiful song about a mother and her daughter. I don't have a daughter. I am at peace with not having a daughter, but I guess I will always have that part of my heart that longs for a daughter! The song wells up so much emotion inside of me and I am not really sure why.
It goes like this:
In my daughters eyes
I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I want to be
In my daughters eyes
In my daughters eyes
Everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me
Gives me strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughters eyes
When she wraps her hand around my finger
Oh, it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about
It's hanging on when your heart has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughters eyes
In my daughters eyes
I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
And though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you will see how happy she made me
I'll be there
In my daughters eyes
I think part of the reason this song stirs up so emotion in me is because I am a mother.
I just replace the daughter with son and the she with he!
I hope you enjoy the words to this song, but you have to hear the melody!
It is sooooo beautiful!
So, I guess everytime I hear this song it will escape!
