Thoughts all battling for attention in the brain of mine
You are so close and so far
I feel You in my heart but I don't sense You near me
I feel as if I have lost my friend
My life
My love
I don't know where You are but I feel You near
I look behind me but can't seem to catch a glimpse of You
I look to either side of me and I can't find You there either
I look ahead but no I do not see You leading me
The only place that I fail to look is up
It doesn't occur to me that the one place that I can find You is above
So I fall down to my knees and plead for You to come to me
Once again I feel You but I cannot see You
But I feel
Your peace
Your love
Your grace
Your forgiveness
I want You to show me what You will for my life
I want You to lead me to where You want me to be
To whom You wish me to be
But this world tugs
Rips
Pulls
Curses
Shouts at me
It angers me
Makes me cry
Pleases me all in one massive mess
I want to cry
I want to weep
I want to laugh
I want to dance about like a fool
I wish people would see something different in me
Not just the people I know but the people who see me on the street
I want them to ask me about You
So I can tell them how You changed my life
I pray that I am doing what You want me to
Going the direction that You have dreamed for me
There is this hunger inside of me
That can't seem to be quenched by anything else but You
I know that You can quench it and I long for that quenching
And while I wait that day I will fall to my knees more often
To commune with You
My friend
My life
My love
And I pray that You shine through me every step of the way
Leading me and guiding me
Using me as a beacon for others longing for all that You are
Humble me so that I can take on Your work for me
Lord use me for Your glory
