Arise and Come

Does life feel like a cold, harsh rain splattering on your face?
Does your heart feel barren, empty or angry?
Do the circumstances surrounding you now seem endlessly dark with little hope of change?

There is Someone who knows all about it, feels all your pain, has bottled your tears...
He has come as you have asked,
He has come to lift your head, to carry the load, to lead you out of the tunnel...

He beckons, "Come with Me."
He calls you beautiful and declares,"It is time!"

He continues,"I see it."
"I see the season changing,
 I see the cold rains finished, the barren winter gone.
 I see flowers appearing,
 I hear the gentle cooing of the doves,
 I discern a new day of destiny breaking forth around you."

"Although you do not see yet, my beloved," He whispers,
"I see."
"Can you trust Me?"

"Come with Me,"
"Arise...lets run to the higher place."

"Come, let Me tell you how I see you...
 I love to see your face turned toward Me,
 Your voice is so beautiful to me."

"Come,
 We will catch those little foxes that want to ruin your vineyard,
 We will do it together..."

"Come,"
 "The air is filling with song.
  I have so much delight and fullness for you to experience.
  Trust Me, my love,
  Arise and Come!"
