THE BUTTERFLY

 My daughter you have heard the story of the butterfly 
That it is a caterpillar broken down so it must die
Yes this is true, but it is so much more than that
So sit at my feet and hear Me as Mary sat

I know you think that you have sinned too much

That I could never forgive you or love you as such

But I made you and created you from your mother’s womb

So receive my love and forgiveness come out of your tomb

I came to cleanse this world from its sin

It’s time for you to trust me and to begin

To forgive yourself and to live your life free

Remember I came to give life more abundantly

When it seems dark know that I have you in a cocoon

So that I can disintegrate and get rid of the old you

Don’t resist me just know you’ll be coming out soon

There is no sin you have done to great for Me

I knew before time that I would need to set you free

You are a treasure so great that I died on a tree

I want to restore you and rebuild you into the likeness of Me

I will take you and mold you into someone brand new

Remember I have called many, but the chosen are few

I chose you out of many you will be white as snow

Your tears and your pain you will no longer know

Remember My child you are new creature in Christ

You are not a caterpillar with wings hear My hearts cry

You are a brand new, one of a kind, beautiful butterfly
