Poetry of encouragement

Wounded soldier on the ground
Broken; bleeding; beaten down
Feeling defeated; feeling not needed
Alone; abandoned on the battleground

Wounded soldier; faithful friend
Beaten down by those you defend
Your heart once open -- now pierced and broken
Needing help to rise again

Let Me bind up every wound
Let Me comfort every pain
Let Me carry you to a place of rest
Shelter from pouring rain

Let Me hold you -- I can be right where you are
Let Me hold you in the shelter of My heart

When you’re weary from the battle
And all hope just seems so far
Just remember I am with you
Faithfully guarding your heart

While the battle rages on
I will hold you through the night
In the shadow of the cross
I’ll be your champion -- fight your fight

Let Me hold you -- I can be right where you are
Let Me hold you in the shelter of My heart

Wounded soldier -- you’ll rise again
You can trust Me -- I always win
When you face harshness or total darkness
I’m ever watching; faithful to defend

Wounded soldier; faithful one
When you’ve fallen, I’ll help you run
With every testing I’ll bring new resting
And say to you, “My child, well done!”

Let Me bind up every wound
Let Me comfort every pain
Let Me carry you to a place of rest
Shelter from pouring rain

Let Me hold you -- I can be right where you are
Let Me hold you in the shelter of My heart

When you’re weary from the battle
And all hope just seems so far
Just remember I am with you
Faithfully guarding your heart

When you feel you can’t go on
You be weak, and I’ll be strong
With the power of My strongest love
From My heart’s deepest song

Let Me hold you -- I can be right where you are
Let Me hold you in the shelter of My heart
