Like A Wrecking Ball

I spent years building walls,

To keep out people and pain.

But there is something about walls,

After a while you wonder if you are sane.

They block everything out,

They also hold everything in.

I knew I needed to make a change,

But I didn’t know where to begin.

Like a wrecking ball swinging,

You knocked my walls to the ground.

Left me exposed and stinging,

Aware of every smell and sound.

Your love hit me like a wrecking ball.

I will forever be in your debt.

You knocked down the walls to my heart,

They started toppling when we first met.

My heart is no longer behind a wall.

Your love hit me like a wrecking ball.

Your love has opened up a new world.

I know I can thrive in it next to you.

You have given me a life worth living.

Even the old things seem brand new.

Please promise me I am not dreaming.

The air is this fresh and the skies this blue.

If we had never met by God’s good grace,

Remaining behind walls the rest of my days,

My heart not knowing how free it could be,

Not experiencing your gentle and loving ways,

I would have went on like a hermit, all alone,

Hiding behind my high, dark walls,

A solemn king on his throne.

Your love hit me like a wrecking ball.

I will forever be in your debt.

You knocked down the walls to my heart,

They started toppling when we first met.

My heart is no longer behind a wall.

Your love hit me like a wrecking ball.

You flattened my walls and brought in love’s light.

Your love hit me like a wrecking ball.
