I Know Just How You Feel

By Kathryn Taylor

I love.... yet they reject-

I give..... ‘til I have no more-

They tear down ...while I connect-

Spew wrath... as I implore-

I hunger for relation-

To protect them and to bless-

To take them by adoption,

Considering nothing less-

I would give them all I had

Requesting just one thing,

They love their mom and dad

With trust unwavering-

Why is it they rebel,

And deny a life of peace?

I’m driven and compelled

To make the warring cease-

Lord,

Childbirth is pain,

But rearing is far worse

When they walk the ways of Cain,

Refusing to stay on course-

How does one get free

From nightmares seeming real?

And God’s only reply to me

Was, “I know just how you feel.”

My Love……My Forgiveness

A song by Kathryn Taylor

I called to just not hear you

Answer your phone

I called to remind myself

I’m still here alone-

But no matter what you’re doing

I’ll always be here

Wondrin’ if you miss me

And if you still fear……

Chorus:

Do you fear…..my love…..my forgiveness….

My hope for all you ever could be……

Do you fear our past….. our mistakes made……

My prayer is that one day you’ll truly be free……

Everyone in their life time

Has done something wrong….

Leavin’ them feeling unwanted….

They no longer belong

It’s so easy to get angry

And hate those once dear….

It keeps your heart so broken

And that’s why you fear…..

Chorus:

You fear all love…….all forgiveness

All hope for all you ever could be…..

You fear your past……your mistakes made…

And that is what keeps you from being truly free

God waits up there in Heaven

To hear from us too….

We ignore and reject Him….

He’s a dad feeling blue…

So he sent His own Son down here

To reveal truth from lies…

And He showed us what love is

And said with tears in His eyes…..

Chorus:

I’ll heal you with My love……..My forgiveness

I can make you all you ever could be…..

I’ll forgive your past……your mistakes made

I’ll give my life for you…so you can be free………

Your love……..your forgiveness….

That is something each of us can give and receive

So, let go of the past…….and mistakes made

God sets you free…..when you trust and believe
