Life giving God – By Tegan Marschke

Life giving God gave to me,

A life within about to begin,

Not one, or two but three.

One came and went so fast it seemed.

The heart broke, the soul mourned, and the tears streamed.

Long awaited Two appeared.

We go to see a little heart beating, But emptiness confirms what we feared.

Pain still so strong and all of a sudden,

number 3 was in the oven.

This is the one, I know in my heart.

God bought us together and nothing will tear us apart.

But God what is this? How can it be?

For the third time, No Lord please, don’t do this to me.

Heartbreak turns to anger and O the things I said.

I’m held captive by emotions a prisoner in my own bed.

The serpent comes to whisper in my ear.

You’ve failed again and where is your God? I don’t see him here.

You should just quit, run, give up.

After all you’re no good, you just don’t measure up.

Beaten down to ground, face to the floor.

I fight to my knees, I can go no more.

But here on my knees is where I need to be.

I scream out O Lord please forgive me!.

I pray, O life giving God once more,

Please grant me Your life to the heart inside, but this time to the one at my core.

Take it all Jesus my grief in my loss,

I lay it all at your feet on the cross.

Then I hear him say to me, O daughter in you I have found,

The strength of a warrior, you won’t be kept down.

Continue to fight with me at your side,

And know I have never left you, I was there every time you cried.

Life giving God gave to me,

The greatest gifts one, two and three.

But nothing compared to setting me free.
