There is
A time when we
Must die and join our God
In Heaven; Let's think about it
And smile
This poem was inspired by the music of Night Ranger and is dedicated to Jack Blades and Jeff Watson, and to God, who is the source of all music.
I lie down.
I listen to your music.
Everything else disappears.
I surrender to the music.
I become one with the music.
As I do, I connect with something more.
Your music becomes a pathway.
As I experience the music,
I experience our Lord.
As I become one with the music,
I become one with God.
Your music is a gift.
Through it I touch the greatest gift of all.
I thank you for the friendship
That you have shown to me
And all the gifts you've given,
May I use them faithfully.
I've loved him for so long.
I thought it was enough.
But now I know something was missing.
I gave all I could give,
But it wasn't enough.
I never really gave me.
I never surrendered.
But now...
Now everything's changed.
I've learned to surrender.
To give up all.
And it's a wonderful thing.
In giving up all,
My deepest desires have been fulfilled.
Thank you, Lord.
I love you.
I love all that you are.
My inner child loves you.
The broken places in me
relate
when you share the brokenness in you.
And yet, I see, you are strong and beautiful.
As, I have come to realize, so am I.
I don't know how to feel.
Should I love him?
Should I hate him?
He makes me react.
angry
alive
hurt
in love
He makes me long for... something
For you, Lord.
He makes me fall in love with you.
I don't need you.
I need to see beauty,
Like the beauty I've seen in you.
I need to feel alive,
Like I do when I think of you.
I need so much that I've found in you.
But it's not you that I need.
I don't need you.
