Affectionate Hold

My heart has wandered in the dessert. 
Hungry and thirsty. Alone in the wasteland with cracked lips and dry eyes.
Wandering and wandering, looking to be satisfied by my own hand.
He came and led me, straight out. 

My heart has sat in the darkness of prison.
On the cold floor in the dark shadows. Irons holding me down in the dust.
Working hard, stumbling hard, to prove my own way.
He came and led me, chain free into the light.

My heart has been a crazy fool, partying it up on the street.
Starving to look good. Taking the pain for beauty sake.
Left alone to waste in my choices.
He came and led me, with daily bread and a stripped back.

My heart has sailed away to success and fame.
Climbing the ladders, receiving high praises. Feeling the thrill of something from nothing.
It crashed hard, No resources were left. Here today, gone tomorrow.
He came and led me, balanced  into the desired place.

Through it all Love is steady...even when I let go... Love, failed me not. 

"Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distress."
Psalm 107: 6,13, 19, and 28

"Let them thank the LORD for His steadfast love, for His wondrous works to the children of man."
Psalm 107:8,15,21, and 31

Where is my heart today I must ask...
I will cry...
He will deliver...
I will give thanks...
His steadfast love fails me not.
