Your heart today
I don't know what is the condition of my heart today. Like the lyrics of the song, I'm experiencing joy, fear, pain and the likes. Different emotions to my everyday life. I am afraid to face the future. I don't know what will happen next. Will I be hurt in the coming years? Can I still fulfill my duties? Will I still fulfill my dreams? My answer is I can and I will. But how will I start when my heart today feels afraid?
Bro, help me face this another path in my life. I like to do it on my own but I don't know where and how to start. Please guide me throughout my journey for Your Greater Glory.
I still don't want to think what will happen in the coming days. I want to be ready for what will happen next. I am still working on those things that will make me stronger and braver and assure myself that when that time comes, I am already confident and have the courage to face the life on my own.
Let me share you this nice song:
Your Heart Today
music and words by
Manoling V. Francisco, SJ
arrange by: Francisco .Z. Reyes
Where there is fear I can allay
Where there is pain I can heal
Where there are wounds I can bind
And hunger I can fill
REFRAIN:
Lord, grant me courage
Lord, grant me strength
Grant me compassion
That I may be Your heart today
Where there is hate I can confront
Where there are yokes I can release
Where there are captives I can free
And anger I can appease (REFRAIN)
BRIDGE:
When comes the day I dread
To see our broken world
Compel me from my cell grown cold
That Your people I may behold
Where there is fear I can allay
Where there is pain I can heal
Where there are wounds I can bind
And hunger I can fill (REFRAIN)
CODA:
And when I've done all that I could
Yet there are hearts I cannot move
Lord, give me hope
That I may be Your heart today
