He Knows - A Poem

Jesus loves me
This I know
For the Bible
Tells me so

Yet the Bible
Has no pulse
It can't wipe my tears
Or hold me close

Faith can not keep me
Warm at night
Can't mend my heart
Or make it light

Without a heart
Am I dismissed?
No, Jesus loves me
I know this

The voice of God
I may not hear
I may be broken
And in fear

I may not know
The reasons why
I may feel lost,
Alone, and cry

I may feel Angry
Throw my fist up
Rip my hair out
Want to give up

Thru all of this
The truth remains
That God knows me
He knows my pain

He knows the hole
That can't be filled
That getting up
Each day takes will

He knows the nightmare
That I face
He knows this love
Can't be replaced

He knows my name
He sends me grace
I'll take my time
And find my pace

So the Bible
Said it true
If Jesus loves me
Then he must love you
