HEART SPEAKS (SOMETIMES)

Some days you just want to do over
Sometimes you wish to live again
Sometimes it just easier
To forget that you ever went
Down that road
Ah but there are no secrets
When it comes to the Lord
For all that is done in secret
Will be revealed one day
Oh how what is private
To our selfish flesh
Becomes everyone’s business
Once your heart speaks through your mouth
Bitterness will poison every word
Lust will drip from your eyes
Unforgiveness taints your heart
Oh how the heart speaks no matter
The package that it is wrapped in
Some days you just want to smack everyone
Sometimes you just about do
Sometimes it’s much easier
Never to have gotten out of bed
If only you could take back
The time spent where you should have never been
But what to do
What to do
When you have unclean hands
Ah but God in His mercy
Has laid out His way
Confession is good for more than the soul
It cleanses the space between God and you
Some days it can be hard to come to Him
Knowing what you know
Some things you don’t want to relive
Or tell anyone much less the Lord
Sometimes the pain is blinding
Oh but the relief you can have
Bring your sometimes to Jesus
That He may wash your heartspeak clean
