Poem: "Desperate" written 12/23/03

desperate for You
want to feel You in my veins
break the chains that would keep us apart
-break my heart-
longing to know You
savor Your presence
to be like You
slave of righteousness
You are my holiness
expectantly drawing me
forever thirsty
You are everything
abba, I will wait
set my path straight
I need the guidance
of Your commands
loving discipline of Your hands
I have tested You
as children do
forgive me, Father
make me new
I feel You carry me
above the clouds
You open my heart
as You shut my mouth
I am speechless
at a loss for words
that which my soul has cried
I know You have heard
no words are known
to express how I feel
all that's left to say
lift me as I kneel....
