I KNOW NOW We grew up together, so innocent and so close Marveling in each others discoveries You knew I would drift when I reached adolescence And embraced rebellion, Pushing you away by questioning your love Doubting your works and words The Importance of being counted in this World kept you at a distance, Building a wall of shame, anger and emptiness around my heart, Ready to take on the world by myself Suddenly I was alone and lost Battered and torn with despair, confusion and no hope, You chiseled through my man-made wall Your spirit busting it down, Pouring in, to comfort and encourage me You found me Weak, naked with embarrassment and broken in Spirit Your Spirit covered me, held me and carried me Blessing me with Strength and hope You bandaged and cared for my wounds- To heal and restore my trust and faith in you You melted my sorrows, despair and loneliness away Yielding me to my knees-exhausted with pain, next to you I gained my independence and freedom You make me feel whole, safe and ready for life's challenges Because of my lies, my sins, my mocking, my disobedience You sacrificed your life to forgive and to save me I am in awe with you, my Heart beats rapidly, making my chest heave heavily in your presence, My eyes in fixation as I look at you, my ears attentive with great absorption On your every written word, My mind goes mad with my lips singing and praising your name, Butterflies in my stomach flutters as I sit in our Fathers House I am refreshed, when I stand in the wind and feel you breathe on me, I am cleansed, when I stand in the rain to be drenched with your blessing, I uplift my hands out to the Sun to feel your greeting From the warmth of the rays, I look unto the stars and moon to see you wishing me Goodnight, Your graces surround me in Nature and life I am proud, because you Know me I am vain, by introducing you to everyone I meet I am in love, as my admiration strives To live in accordance with you You are my Alpha, You are my Omega JESUS, You are my Saviour « return. |
