Awakened in the night

Inspired?

Not at first

Tired?

More like it

Not feeling poetic

Not thinking prophetic

But Holy Spirit You

Lead me on

Silent

I let thoughts take over

Fingers rest

On the keyboards

In their places

I listen

I wait

For You never sleep

You woke me

To speak to me

You woke me

To whisper

In my ear

And tell me I'm doing

Just fine

And that I'm beautiful

You knew I needed

To hear that

After I looked in the mirror

Today

I am never more

In love than when I

Meet with You

Here

Thoughts of You

Take over

While my fingers rest

On the keyboards

In anticipation

Listening as fingers do

Waiting

You always show up here

Sitting on

A stone wall

In anticipation

Here You come

With one rose

You seemed more

Eager than I

To meet

Tonight

This is

Hard to comprehend.

Why You would

Want me as Your friend

Your lover

Your joy

But You do

You do

I have tested You

I've tried You

I've walked away

Many times

But Your still

In pursuit

Of my heart

I thought I gave it all

You want more

I can only say

I'm willing

You may need

To take it

I'm willing to

Give it

Though I may be

Unable

You have my permission

To do as You will

 

It's hard to comprehend

This love

When I ponder it

There is a fear, still

Set me free

To love You

Set me free

Release my heart

All I can say is

I'm willing

I'm willing

I'm willing

 

Set me free

To love You

Beyond affection

Beyond what I

Now understand

Set me free

To love You

I'm Yours

I don't know how

To love You

Teach me

Beyond what I know

Reach me

I'm willing

I'm willing

I'm willing

To learn

And to be
