Burning Bush Poem by David Andre' Klopper

From mountains old I hear your call,
In winters nights I feel your touch,
Deep within the love is too much,
Tears of pain make me crawl,

A fire burns at night,
I see a bush alight,
A longing for peace and quiet,

In your heart I hide safe and warm,
Your love keeps me until dawn,
Daylight brings a chance for redemption,
A lost life, now in resurrection,

The spirit runs deep within,
Filling me up to the brim,
I remember now, I am safe tonight,
Spirit's fire burns bright,

I keep on walking, never to flee,
For you are always with me,
When the desert is dry and I thirst,
You find a way to fill my cup first,

When I forget where I am,
You test my love of the Lamb,
Bringing me back gently to love,
One day you will show me the Dove,

You ask me to keep my faith a bit longer,
When I feel weak you make me stronger,
Keeping me ready to go home, soon,
Come take me away today!

But If the earth begins to shake and tremble,
If the sea should rise and towers fall,
Then I shall remain steadfast through it all,
Always ready to answer your call!
