Poetry

---

My body is alone, falling victim to this world,
Still, oh, my soul sings for joy,
Never again to sink into despair, but to soar into victory.

I just can’t understand your ways, Lord;
Yet, somehow they are what is best.
They must be, otherwise how could I feel such security?

I run from pain, only to find more;
I run to you and find a blessing in disguise.
Life before you was an endless race
With nothing but fear in my eyes.

Now rests a light of love
Shining from your presence
Into the depths of my often-neglected heart.

Don’t leave, never leave;
You are all I have and all I will ever need.

I’m here, humble with fear;
Please come to me.
I am so in need of your touch, your fire;
Come to me, Come to me Lord.

I’ve searched for answers;
Nothing found.
You know what I need, what to do;
Do what it takes, oh Lord.

Nothing will restore me but you, Jesus;
Nothing in this world will do.
Nothing will restore me but you, Jesus;
Nothing loves me like you.
