Paper Hearts

Have you ever experienced true love?  The kind that doesn't hold contempt and knows no boundaries.  Well, I know that my heart has been ripped apart and left behind by people I trusted the most, people from whom I yearned to receive true love.

See out of a broken world comes broken people who pass on their brokenness.  And what I've come to realize is that we have a choice.  We can either continue the legacy of brokenness or we can set a new legacy in motion.

There is true love for us.  There is true love for you.  There is love that doesn't hold contempt, no matter what we've done or where we've been.  A love that knows no boundaries.  A love that never ends.  A love that is true!

God's love is greater than our torn and shattered hearts, greater than our brokenness.  He is the Seamstress that picks up the torn and shattered pieces and mends our paper hearts.

His love remains true.  And He sets anew our lives and the legacies that we leave behind.  God writes His love on our paper hearts.  And He is writing His love on yours!

My Paper Heart ~ Francesca Battistelli

Well I've been treated like a valentine

That's been ripped apart and left behind

I'm a fragile girl

In a crazy careless world

My dreams were torn and scattered on the floor

But You've been picking up the pieces, Lord

'Cause Your love is real

The only hope to heal

My paper heart is Yours now

I have landed in Your hands

Come so far to find out

My life will never be the same

Since You wrote Your name

On my paper heart

I had been so terrified to trust

So many times I'd been reduced to dust

But You keep showing me

You're the safest place to be

My paper heart is Yours now

I have landed in Your hands

Come so far to find out

My life will never be the same

Since You wrote Your name

On my paper heart

Never knew that I could feel the way I feel

Never knew that there could be a love so real

Never knew that I could feel the way I feel right now
