My Heart Says

/ The WheatandTares

I step out on faith, and I feel the whirlwind.

The gusts attempt to break my tired feet.

My anger tempts me to turn and not to bend,

But my heart says not to give in to the defeat.

I walk on not knowing where this will go;

This storm rages all around my weary head.

My sin tempts me to rebel so You will not know,

But my heart says to remember what You have said.

I run into Your loving arms, still fearing all Your wrath;

The rains are pouring down now on top of me.

My fears tempt me to put on this shiny mask,

But my heart says to uncover and allow You to see.

I stand in the great shadow of Your grace;

These clouds are cleansing from within me now.

My heart tempts me to hide my prideful face,

But my heart says to You only will I bow.

Please Tell Me

/ The WheatandTares

Now I am so very confused. I feel like I have been abused.

Are you being honest with me, or are you only wanting the key?

I can’t tell what you want anymore, but as you see, it’s my heart that you tore.

Why do you do this? Will you really be there? Do you truly love me, or don’t you even care?

 

I am the one you’ve used so much with all your charm and gentle touch.

Is it true love that you claim, or have you just been playing a game?

I wish you would be honest. I wish I could tell. How can I know when you always hide behind that veil?

Are you being truthful, or is it a lie? If that’s all it is; then, I’ll be saying goodbye.

 

In my heart, you will always live, but I have so much more love to give.

So, if you’re leaving, please quickly do say; I don’t want to go on hurting this way.

There is just one more thing I want to say to you, but it scares me, are you feeling this way, too?

I wanted to express how deep my love is for you. I just wanted to tell you before we were through.
