Then Let Me Break
If the stuff of life is born
Of the things that make me ache
Then, Dear God,
Let me break
If tears are what's required
To make my roots go deep,
Then, Dear God,
Let me weep
If a broken heart is one
Of the promises you make,
Then, My Lord,
Let me break
If tears water the soil
Of the harvest that we'll reap,
Then, My Lord,
Let me weep.
If the King of Glory
Was broken for my sake
Then, My Jesus,
Let me break
If scars are of the only thing
From earth that we can keep,
Then, My Jesus,
Let me weep

“Affirmation: God has great plans for my life.”
Thank you God for a longer sleep last night, thanks to my kids having the day off from school.

My wife is special because she encourages all of us to be the best versions of ourselves that we can be, and has also kickstarted some of the things we enjoy together as a family, including the comic convention we are partaking in this weekend.
