A Lily Among Thorns

The yearning to be set apart only resonates stronger within
With every blink, every breath, every note of praise sung
To take me deeper to a place where I’ve never been
A lily among thorns, beauty that radiates in a world so torn
Bearing a message of hope to be birthed in desolate hearts
Only, still, in the Shepherd’s hands I am
The illusion of outward charm be gone and true passion take its place
Do I dare? I do…
The unfolding of petals brings a fragrance so sweet
An offering of honesty and vulnerability
Brings a beauty incomparable to any other
For the illusion of the tender flower fosters the image of my Savior
The source of resplendence I bear...
A lily among thorns may I be
In a world so torn let beauty radiate from me
