Heartstring Reflections By Laurita McKercher

A Painting of the Soul

Paint a picture on your soul of the dreams you’ve yet to see.
Peel the layers of hurt aside and give them all to me.
I knew you and I formed you and planned your life with care.
There never was a time, my child, when I was not there.

Paint a picture on your soul of the dreams you’ve yet to see.
For hope and joy are mine to give. I’ll give them yet to thee.
For you are my beloved, the one that shines in grace.
The pictures that you’ve yet to paint reflect my shining face.

Paint a picture on your soul of the dreams you’ve yet to see.
You’ve come back to my heart once more and answered my heart’s plea.
I wish that I could tell you how I’ve yearned to have you near.
Please burn me deep into your soul, I’m overjoyed you’re here.

Paint a picture on your soul of the dreams you’ve yet to see.
I will always be a part of you. Let’s dream, just you and me.
Let’s spend your life together in a uniting of our souls.
Let me be an instrument to completely make you whole.


2 Chronicles 7:16
“I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.”
