I Was There

I was still communicating online with that same lady as she began to tell me why she kept crying and did not want to hear about Jesus’ love for her. See, she grew up in a very abusive environment and felt that no one loved her. And to hear me say that God loved her made her angry and very sad.  She wanted to know how a loving God could allow her to go thru all that she did while growing up and if God really loved and cared for her, He would have stopped the abuse.  As she was telling her story, I felt like the Lord was allowing me to experience just a glimpse of His heart breaking and I began to weep with her.  Later that night, when I couldn’t shake my tears for her, the Lord gave me this love song – as if this was coming directly from Him to her.


Where were You when I was just a child, hurt and in so much pain
Was there a purpose to that life, what in the world did I have to gain?
Where was that love You say You have, when I had a broken heart
Why didn't You rescue me when You could have from the start?
And where are You right now, when I am trying so hard to see
What is Your Truth and Grace and why You say You love me?

My child, I've always been there right there by your side
My heart was there grieving for you and I cried and cried.
Yes, my child, I loved you then and I love you still
I know the things you've been through, but it wasn't in My will.

There are so many things that I can't explain now while you're on this earth
There is a purpose to your life, please come and experience your rebirth.
Believe in Me, Trust in Me and I promise to make things right
You'll live with Me forever now and in Heaven's bright.

I'll give you all that love and peace that you desire so
I'll never leave you or forsake you and I'll teach you so you'll know.
That this ugly world is just fleeting and a very temporary place
Your real home is in Heaven with Me gazing in my Face.
