Unveiling Heart

I ask myself a question today If today is the last day What would I need the most Before I step into eternity  I realize my last memories won't be that of offense or grief My greatest desires would fade away and seem trivial, In that moment just before my journey is over The abuse, the hate, the anger would lose its power  And my heart would be overwhelmed Knowing that the Lord planned for me to encounter His love through the cross and the resurrection.  And before I breathe my very last my only one cry would be-" I need You Jesus" and then I would step in its reality.

Is my idea of great in the grandeur of things Or is it in the secret sacrifice of the unsung heroes that makes life possible? Every song, every beat is a desperate cry longing for love Looking in beautiful package realising its empty And then wondering what did I miss? Am I expecting You to come as a lion But missed You because You came as a lamb I expected You to come as a fierce King But You chose to come as an infant in a manager.
