Radically Happy

It’s easy to love
But hard to love well
For we each hold
Our own private hell

We all need each other
Our blessing and curse
We chase after “better”
But hide from the “worse”

For this world is broken
And so too are we
Thus if we draw closer
My shadow you’ll see

For we all bear pain
From deep needs unmet
That moments of pleasure
Can’t make us forget

The only solution
That heaven decreed
Is to come to Jesus
To fill our heart’s need

For only those hands
Now pierced by sin’s scars
Can feel and heal pain
As deep as is ours

And this is the well
From which we must draw
That sin-frozen hearts
Awake to love’s thaw

Today I will feel deep
Into love’s well
