Broken Daughter



Broken daughter...Come back to Me.
Why is it another life you seek?
Am I not the One who gave you breath?
Did I not save you from death?
There is no other who loves you more;
No other who you should adore.
Why do you wander so far away?
This is why your spirit I break.
Your wandering heart no more should long
For anything else then your Father's home.
For only here can you find
A life that is full and love divine.

I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall.
I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me.
Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:
Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:19-23
