*This was inspired by a line from a book I’m reading in my internship at my church called “Waking The Dead” The line was simply “Tell me your sorrows”*

Tell Me your sorrows
Tell Me what’s on your heart
Tell Me what’s causing you to cry tonight?

All alone,
Walking in the dark
Walking in the cold
My heart heavy with pain
I’m just dragging along

Just keep pressing
Trying to find my way
Trying to find a place of peace
An escape from the pain inside my soul.

A Man behind me
I look but no one is there
I hear no footsteps
But I can feel Him breathing
Feel Him next to me
I feel an arm around me
A strange peace is found
But I keep walking.

I hear a voice whisper:
Tell Me your sorrows
Tell Me what’s on your heart
Tell Me all the pain you keep inside
Tell Me all the sadness you’re keeping locked in your heart
Tell Me what’s causing you to cry tonight?
What is causing you to sigh?

I ignore it and keep walking
Thinking that it’s my imagine
I must be going crazy
After all who would want to know about me?
There’s nothing special about me
Is there?

But I travel on with my journey
It’s getting late
And I’m getting colder
But I can’t shake the feeling
That there’s someone there
And He wants to know about me.

I hear it again:
Tell Me your sorrows
Tell Me what’s on your heart
Tell Me what’s causing you to cry tonight?


Finally I surrender
After all the pain is too much to bear
I let out a sigh
And the tears roll gently down my face
I begin to cry and cry
Touched by the feeling that someone would actually care about me.

As I begin to tell Him
How much I miss my dad
How the pain seems too heavy to bear
And how sometimes I feel that no one even cares
The ways I condemn myself for nothing at all
The way I’m sick of always hurting and always crying
I want a new joy that won’t go away
A life that won’t fade after the new day.

He holds me close
A feeling I can’t explain
But somehow I know
He’s not going to let go
And all He’s only ever loved Me
And all He’s ever going to do is love Me.

We spend over an hour talking
I tell Him my life
Somehow I knew I could trust Him
And He wasn’t going to hurt me like the rest.

Once again He whispers to Me
Tell Me your sorrows
Tell Me what’s on your heart
Tell Me all the pain you keep inside
Tell Me all the sadness you’re keeping locked in your heart
Tell Me what’s causing you to cry tonight?
What is causing you to sigh?

He whispered to Me
No longer will you have to fight to be loved
No longer do you have to fight through all this pain
You’ve put up a good fight
And cried many tears
But I’m bringing you into something new
Just let it flow, lift up your hands
And receive it in your heart
That you are loved and you always will be loved.

Your new name is loved
Accepted and beautiful
Nothing will separate you from this love
From the grace you have in Me
Beloved and child
You are Mine

Now:
Tell Me your sorrows
Tell Me what’s on your heart
Tell Me what’s causing you to cry tonight?

And in return I’ll whisper
I love you…

Because I’ve always loved you…
