Crown of Creation

I can see it living there behind your eyes.
I can see it’s eating you alive.

You’re hiding your heart,
hiding yourself,
waiting to be rescued.
You’re masking the lies,
carving the pain,
keeping it all hidden.

Look at yourself.
What do you see?
Only painful memories.
Where is the hope?
Where is the love?
Where did you go?

Lay all of your burdens down at my feet.
I will carry you.
I will lift you up out of misery.

Oh, my child, my Crown of Creation.
You are perfect in every way.

The crown of God’s creation is a new creature, a creature that can sound the heartbeat of its Creator. That creature, made male and female, reflects God’s own relational richness. The human family is to join God in the ongoing work of creation. The earth below and the sky above with all their inhabitants are too beautiful and too good to be left alone. They need the tender care and close attention that only God’s favored creature can give. -Genesis 1:29-31 (The Voice)
