The Stars Stopped Singing For Me
_____________________________
It is so dark and so cold
And there is so much pain, which
Penetrates my soul
Oh God, I can’t breathe
I can’t even feel You next to me
The Heavens are silent
And Lord, I am so frightened
All I held together, has fallen apart
I don’t know where to even begin
And only You know the pain
That weights so heavy upon my heart
Oh God, search me
Examine me, and reach in
To the dark places, I have hidden within
Oh God, You know
My pain, my sorrow, and my grief
My heart cries out for deliverance
And my soul longs for relief
My mind is tormented and is split in two
And all I can do
Is try to keep my mind focused on You
I have to see things in perspective
And see things as they really are
I am but dust, yet my desperate cry resounds
Above the singing of the billions of stars
You command the stars to be silent, and
Tell them to be quiet
Just to hear the sound of the music my heart is making
To catch my tears, and hear my cry
You gave up Your Heavenly place
To demonstrate Your Amazing Love and Grace
To a small, insignificant, me
You sacrificed all that You had
Just to reconcile, and set me free
The Heavens display the splendour of who You are
Your Greatness is painted in every galaxy
And the glory of Your name
Is written on every star
You are brilliant, and beyond
Anything I could ever comprehend
Who am I that You are mindful of me?
That You, An all powerful, awesome, God
Would want to be my friend
I am like a flower, which will one day fade
Yet You chose me, to have
Your glory, displayed
The Heavens display Your glory and power
Yet, You take the time, to be with me
In my deepest and darkest hour
Because it is in me, that Your glory
Will truly be seen
I know I am nothing, I am only who I am
Because of what Christ has done in me
The beat of Your heart, beats a rhythm
Above Your singing stars
You came down to a small speck of dust
In Your universe
Just to show me who You are
It was not in the universe that I saw Your love
It was not in the constellations above
It was on a tree, that I saw, who You are
You allowed Yourself to suffer, You allowed
Yourself to be torn apart
So that I would know, You do understand
Everything I go through in life
You gave more, than I can comprehend,
You gave me, more than a sacrifice
You came down, God in the flesh
To save me from the sting of death
Who am I, that You would give
All that You held dear
So that I could be released from the bondage
Of my sin, my pain, my guilt and fear?
In You and through You all things were made
But You left it all, just to show me
Your limitless, Love and Grace
The stars praised You, the universe
Displayed all that You are
Yet You lowered yourself
Just to heal my broken heart
You became like me, and suffered
Everything that has come my way
Just so, You would understand
My human suffering, and my pain
You were there, when I was beaten and abused
You were there when I was falsely accused
You experienced the same pain
And when You hung on the cross
You were calling out my name
You were crying, and felt
Everything I had been through
Everything that I had done, and had been done
To me, was placed upon You
You called my name, and cried
“I know you! I understand you!”
I have felt every pain, you have experienced in life
You stopped the stars singing,
You told them to be quiet
They did not sing, when You
Were on the cross for me
Instead the stars, cried
All of Heaven grieved
When, you hung on a cross
And died
For a small, insignificant me
The stars stopped singing, and all of Heaven was quiet
You took the rejection, the loneliness, the pain, and sin
Just so that I could have… LIFE
The stars stopped singing
And Your heart stopped beating once too
Just for me, all for me
You came down, and became nothing
Just so I would know
Someone understands
Everything, and all, I have ever gone through
