This is my book of poetry that I hope to eventually publish with photos. |
Lord, I am struggling with my distance With my choices and my mediocre walk. I know that You are there calling to me And that You have so much more for me So why am I not pressing in? Yesterday You told me that You know everything There is nothing hidden from You And that, despite my darkness, You love me still I’ve known this to be true Yet there is something in me that fights Tugging me toward the safer path of life The path of good enough and mediocre and just okay You call me to more than what I’ve settled for “At the Cross You beckon me, Draw me gently to my knees, And I am lost for words So lost in love I’m Sweetly broken, wholly surrender.” More, Lord, is what I want And I am weary of being hedged and silent and alone Take me to the Cross, Beloved, draw me gently to my knees Cover me with Your wings and shelter me Give me a place to heal, a place to grow, a place to renew Grant me rest and peace and joy Revive me and restore me and bring me back to You Bring me back to the place where I can wholly surrender And fall in love with You again.
"How you turned my world, you precious thing! You starve and near exhaust me... Everything I've done, I've done for you! I move the stars for no one!" If you are wondering who I am, then you haven't looked closely enough... ~~Image #4000 Sharing Restricted~~ "Your eyes can be so cruel...just as I can be so cruel!" |
