Moved to Tears

It started out as a normal routine, but ended with me visiting a place I try to avoid daily.... the depths of my heart.

I ran the water, prepared for my weekly facial and stress relieving shower. I turned the music on as I usually do, but tonight it was different. I felt the words speaking to me, like there was a silent concert taking place in my heart... directly. These days I walk around like an icicle.... cold, and unmoved by anything other than duty. I handle my business and do no more. It's like I've pushed past pain months ago, but I failed to hold on to hope. Although the pain is gone, I felt empty if I concentrated on anything else other than the Lord. I tried to get by by just going with the flow, but something broke in me and the only thing that's flowing now are my tears.

Last night the music had its way with me. It entered me and evicted some bitterness, and low self esteem that had been hiding. I felt warmth, longing, and love. I felt God trying to move the unmovable. I felt God breathing hope into me. I felt God searching my heart for cracks. I felt God mending me. I felt like God was singing me love songs.....

It moved me to tears

I’m sittin’ here thinkin’ about you tonight
And all that you mean to me
I used to think I would never fall in love again
I guess I was wrong
When your heart was broken
When your wounded pride was laid to rest, baby
You’ll never open your heart to anyone else you said
But you lied, I know you’re lyin’ to me
You see your mind might be made up, mmm
But your heart has got it’s own plans
There’s no one to blame for false pride, tellin’ lies,tryin’ to hide
From feelin’ the pain, I know you don’t wanna feel it

There’s nowhere to hide when the love is callin’ your name, yeah
From the dark, babe, nowhere to hide, baby
There’s nowhere to hide, so let love have it’s way with your heart
When love calls, love calls, love calls your name


It’s on my lips
And I wish that you were still here
To take me away with your kiss
And take me away from all this crazy, crazy
‘Cause too many words have been spoken, mmm
Too many lies have been told, baby
You’ll never do it again you told yourself over andover and overYou’re wrong, dead wrong, babe, yeah

There’s nowhere to hide, mmm, when love is callin’your name
In from the dark, baby, nowhere to run, girl
There’s nowhere to hide, yeah, so let love have its way, girl, with your heart, babe
Love calls, love calls
There’s nowhere to hide, yeah, when love calls your name
You fall apart, baby
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run when love is on its way, girl, to your heart, baby
When love calls, love calls your name, babe
Love’s callin’ your name, hey, hey
It’s callin’ out for, callin’ out for me, baby
Love’s on its way, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


I’m sittin’ here thinkin’ about you tonight
And how you make me feel
The sweetness of your touch
The softness of your voice, mmm
You make me wanna be a better man, baby
And I wanna thank you for calling me into your life
Into your arms, into your love
