Worship All newest poems are marked with * Your whispers roll in gentle waves Laying at my feet the words that my heart craves My thirsty soul is here again Back at the well where you always lead me in the end I never need or lack when your hand holds mine As you trace the places of me made by your design Every line and every spot, you know like you do your own Every day, every minute you have held me as I’ve grown How can I hide the things that were never mine to hold When you slip past my fortress walls grown weathered and stone cold Still you lead me, our fingers still entwined Without a word telling me about a love of a forever kind You make your way around the graveyard of all my broken dreams Tears for all these head stones and all these forgotten means Kneeling before me, you offer me the world I thought I’d missed And I am left with the choice between a death of fools or your reviving kiss I can’t go back the other way Because I know that even when I run, your love will always stay I want to hear your voice, because no other one will do Nothing I’ve stumbled over can carry a candle to You I’ve been so far through the mill Through all the lies and all the traps set by selfish will Without You, nothing makes sense You are my core, my source and my essence Without You, walking on water becomes much harder Joy becomes a myth and the journey’s end stretches farther How can the leaves exist without the trees Where can I go where You will not see? How can the day go on if it never sees the sun How could I forget to thank you for all You have done? Here I am, all you’ve been asking for My life, my pride and the mess I never got to clean before Gaze at me like a groom to his bride And offer me yourself where I can wrap myself and hide This Silence* This silence is all I have to bring The tears from my eyes have dried but still they sting No words or songs will come from me tonight I don’t want this chance to end with the intrusive morning light This time is for you and I alone All the while gazing on you beautiful face that I have always known I’m taken by the way You speak my name One whisper takes away all I’ve done and leaves me no more shame You ask me things I fear to answer I know you see all my frozen walls and fatal cancer It’s not the time for me to speak Or to make excuse or defend why I’m so weak The simple truth is that You know My every thought and where I let my longings go You watch me when I smirk and smile You know just how to catch my gaze and hold it there a while Here, this is my love token Silent tears lay before you a heart too many times broken I have nothing else to offer you But I’d give my life away to have the moments filled with you Your breath can fill this darkened room And awaken the place I once called my tomb I’m not dead and gone when I’m here with you How can you possibly name me “Beautiful” with the eyes you see me through? What were you thinking when You took a chance on me? All the while knowing I would fail repeatedly I wonder at Your thoughts that could be spared for such as me: a liar and accomplished thief Haven’t I already caused you enough grief? You answer all these questions with words from some far distant love song You remind me that You are where I always belong No words or songs will come from me tonight I don’t want this dance to end with the intrusive morning light. As If * As if I could ever capture You Or hold You in my hands and give You a name Your craft moves in rhythm and motion When scores will pass, Your face stays the same As if I could be big enough to hold You in my arms Or use my words to paint Your smile Your thoughts are deeper than space and time So many are worthier faces, but You still see me all the while As if I could reach Your feet Or live enough to show my love The beauty of You outshines all of me So much to consider, still, I am what You're thinking of As if dance, song, lyric or rhyme could do what I cannot Or mere surrender could draw me into You Your thundering whisper takes in all of me And I can see a glimpse of the eyes you see me through As if I were good enough, strong enough or beautiful enough Or loud enough to shake the clouds that block my view If only I could be those things, make you smile and draw a tear When in all comes down to it, all I am is lost in You. Call Me Back* Call me back As if for the first time Draw me into You With your voice so familiar I'm tired from this marathon And the track that I've been running on Lift this fallen head of mine I want to see your face Draw a spark so my light will shine I'll get lost in your embrace I think I’ll stay there a little while. My search is done. My feet have stopped their tread. I give you all of me. Only in You* Pour out of me Every shadow, every tainted place. Touch and make these blind eyes see. How have I become this image I can't recognize? Only in You... Search my heart Even the prettiest parts won't change What I am and where I will go See deeper, past all the fabricated works of art. Only in You... I've broken your heart, my Greatest Love And mine, alone, will not survive this cold. Am I gone from your eyes? Have you had enough? If You're gone, I have nothing left... Nothing. Only in You... How can You bear the sight of me? This filth and shame are too much weight for mortal shoulders How, in Your heart, could I ever come back and be? Your embrace is always my treasured memory. Will I ever see again? Only in You... Only in You will I find redemption for a jaded heart Only in You will the dirt be washed away by crimson tide Only in You will I find my missing part. Only in You will I be broken by love so deep, so high and so wide. Somehow* Somehow, your little voice still calls my name You who made the mountains and roaring sea You still hold the purity that was once alive in me I've turned away so many times I've walked away from what I've always known I'm so unworthy, so untrue But here in this moment with You, I am not alone How can I face you- With this burden that I've carried? How can you look at me And the little girl is all you see? Take my hands once again Draw me into your warm embrace There you'll see no tears stream down my face Forgiveness is so foreign When I find me so tattered and torn All I can see is shame that I have worn You still have not let me go To stumble by myself You reach out your love and offer me your help You have called me beautiful I still don't understand When you offer me your hand You call me your precious one How can this be? This love that is so far beyond me.
	Child Little Girl, Little girl Why such a long face? Did you ever know what a change your smile makes? Little girl, little girl Happiness is your choice. But you are your Fathers' joy! Little girl, little girl Deep inside there's a tender place, Even if it doesn't show on your pretty face. Little girl, little girl You have never been alone. No matter how far you've wandered from home. Little girl, little girl Don't despair, You've pushed me away, but I'm still there. Little girl, little girl You have run from truth, That doesn't keep me from pursuing you Little girl, Little girl Give your whole heart to me, And I will show you what life can truly be. Reverence Take my hand and don't let go I need You now; You already know. I've been thinking for so long On things beyond my reach, Longing merely to know the steps And take a running leap. To dive in, abandon myself To let go of every hold That threatens my soul's peace I don't look to You and expect to be okay But You look at me, and You know every word I'd ever say I can't seem to figure out the way You are sometimes But getting lost in Your beauty reduces me to these rhymes You are not what I can see You are not for me to know You are so beyond all things But somehow You still see Every ugly part of me You are the movement of my words And You fill the songs escaping my lips Give me a heart made whole and new So please don't leave me wanting You Take me deeper, take me on Take me away from all these lies Take all of me, leaving nothing to disguise You gave me all of You, Your heart, Your very life What can I give back? Nothing I can do is enough To make up for what I lack But You love me anyway And I don't get it My heart can't stretch so far But I can't get over it You love... me. Title Here Don't you let me down Don't you let go I'm still here I'm still real So don't you mind the bigger things My hands are big enough to hold you I know what youre thinking, you cant hide so easily I know what youre dreaming, and it's not too far away I know what youre waiting for, soon it will come to find you I'll never let you go, never let you stray Even if it doesnt always seem that way My love wont ever leave you No matter how many loves you've been through Just give Me the chance to be everything You need My heart is big enough to hold you Blessed Assurance I feel lost in the middle of all this. Thunder is getting louder And the rain is falling harder. My lost soul finds peace only in You, My One True Thing. My vision cannot reach my destination And for me, that's hard to bear. No matter what comes, I know You are always there. You call my name You touch my face And slip Your hand in mine. You whisper, "Youre still my little girl." And I'm ready to face the world one more time.

	Desperation I'm desperate for You What else can I say? You save me, You make me new So why in the world am I feeling this way? Haven't You told me, time and again Not to worry or fear? But daily, I battle why, how and when I need peace in my mind, my vision made clear Haven't I always been Your little girl? Clutched in your arms, held close to Your heart That little girl feels alone in this world Innocense and ignorance slowly torn apart My light has come to evanesce I need Your fire to burn away the dead See every part, leave nothing left Hold my shaking hand and lift my head Your face I'd thought I'd forgotten But there You are, smiling at me You pick up the pieces that I thought had fallen You quiet my words and You make me free. Song for My Unseen God You fill me with amazing joy You take over every doubt and fear You cover me with extravagant love That I cant understand To sing like this and lift my hands Never seems to be enough You are my everything You see every need And You know when I breathe I can never go back To the life that I once knew Because standing here, I realize All I want is You. I need your love to live I need the truth you give I need to know the sound of your voice When I cried out to You, I know, I made the right choice I will never know another love like Yours An all consuming fire You heal me when I'm broken Youre familiar with my cries I scream your name You whisper back The perfect love Ive come to know Awestruck... I can never let go. I am undone before You Nothing hidden, Nothing veiled There is only You and Your entrancing beauty Shine for me, light my darkness Speak for me when my words have failed Pick me up each time I fall Amazing and irrational love,You have lavished on me So here I am... Yours eternally.

	Little Me I feel as if I'm drowning Little me In this vast and torrent sea These crashing waves resounding Losing my grip Fallen this far I can't see where you are Cries for help are dying on my lips I feel I've begun to wander With no journey set for me Is this the way it will always be? Will you ask me go on much longer? What's the use in heartache? Merely to exist... Can't be all there is to this Can my life really be a mistake? My heart, I hear its screams Longing for life beyond This winding road I travel on You are so out of reach, or so it often seems. I Think Sometimes I think sometimes I'll try another day Another Choice, another way I think sometimes I'll try to open up Overflow and fill my cup I think sometimes I'll know you when you're here Your every mark and every tear I think sometimes you know me well by now My every smile and furrowed brow I think sometimes the time has come, I truly do Time to stop and look to you I think sometimes these are the endless thoughts Of how I'm yours and how I'm caught I think sometimes I'm not enough My words have failed, I'm not that tough I think sometimes I fall too short My mind can change and, in pain, distort I think sometimes it's you I've failed I've done you wrong with motives veiled I think sometimes you pull me in Without a word, you take my sin I think sometimes you're seeing me Only as the woman you made me to be I think sometimes your love is wrong It's too much and waits too long I think sometimes you're more than this More than rhyme or love's first kiss I think sometimes I think too much When all I need is your saving touch Your Own I'm back again, Lord Have you been expecting me? You've drawn me back to this place I thought I'd never see again You whisper my name so gently And you called me your own I'm back to the child I lost along the way I'm running back to the love I pushed away I'm singing the words I never could say I've messed up so many times Fallen hard and sunken deep All these things you took from me You breathed me in And set my dance And you called me Your own I'm back to the child I lost along the way I'm running back to the love I pushed away I'm singing the words I never could say
