Beautiful Heartbreak







I keep starting a paragraph to lead into this song.  I keep erasing it.  I don't think the words need a lead in.  They say it all.

I had it all mapped out in front of me,
Knew just where I wanted to go;
But life decided to change my plans,
And I found a mountain in the middle of my road.

I knew there was no way over it,
So I searched for a way around;
Brokenhearted I started climbin',
And at the top I found...

Every fear, every doubt,
All the pain I went through;
Was the price that I paid to see this view;
And now that I'm here I would never trade...


The grace that I feel,
And the faith that I find;
Through the bitter-sweet tears,
And the sleepless nights;

I used to pray he'd take it all away,
But instead it became a beautiful heartbreak.
I never dreamed my heart would make it,
I thought about turning around;
But heaven has shown me miracles,
I never would have seen from the ground.

Now I take the rain with the sunshine,
Cause there's one thing that I know;
He picks up the pieces,
Along each broken road.

Every fear, every doubt,
All the pain I went through;
Was the price that I paid to see this view;
And now that I'm here I would never trade...

The grace that I feel,
And the faith that I find;
Through the bitter-sweet tears,
And the sleepless nights.

I used to pray he'd take it all away,
But instead it became a beautiful heartbreak.

I would never trade...

The grace that I feel,
And the faith that I find;
Through the bitter-sweet tears,
And the sleepless nights.

I used to pray he'd take it all away,
But instead it became a beautiful heartbreak.


This is where my heart is today.  I plan to take a hike along my favorite local trail, attend church and just be present in the now.  I continue to love the people I love and be gentle with myself.

Happy Sunday everyone!!!  This is my favorite day of the week.

  1. Love this song, cried the whole way through. Hard to see things that way when you are right in the middle of it, but so nice to get through. Also reminds me that my challenges seem so small when faced up with some of what others have to endure. Thanks Tara, for posting, you will probably never know the people you touch. Love you
