If you only knew this hole I have,
You'd know why I tried to hide it.
I've filled it with several things,
But they got swallowed up inside it.

The shape of it is rather odd
Like none other I have seen.
It's about the size of God!
And its emptiness pierces me.

If you only knew this Man
Who came to me every friendless night,
Who spoke of precious Hope
Where there was none in my own might.

He seemed to come from nowhere..
But, suddenly He'd arrive
Then show me tender mercies
And beg me to survive.

So..confused and hurt, yet sustained
I crawled hands and knees in chains
To the place where Hope pointed,
Still broken, aching and restrained.

..He met me at this place,
At the edge of that hole I mentioned.
He motioned towards its center and said,
"It's a river of grace.

If you jump as I request,
I'll be with you, holding your hand
And you will be blessed;
But until then you won't understand."

So, finally after no other answer fit
I took a desperate leap of faith
And jumped on in it
Hoping I wasn't too late.

His presence appeared once more
Glowing as I'd never seen it before.
"Just in time," He said.
"Now look what lies ahead."

"No!  I can't!  I'm unworthy!
The lowest of the low," I said, "believe me!"
He said, "Look.  Your chains are gone.
Receive me.

"For you are right, no matter how hard you strive
You'll not be counted worthy.
But when you jumped you died.
Now in Me, you are truly alive."

..You see, I know that hole you have
And I know why you try to hide it.
I know you fill it with worthless things
But only God fits inside it.
Only One Thing Fits

His Spirit in me, Tamara Dawn
