i wish to be

I seek you O Lord
in my heart you have struck the chord
of truth that no one can deny
of a soul no one can buy

i am seeking the glory
of the unending story
i wish to be
a spirit that is free

i look to you
and you tell me true
that eternal life
comes with strife

i should not hear

im not a monster
and i have no answer
i can only trust
in god i must

they come and plead
with lies they lead
i should not hear
but fate does steer

i am all alone
naked before the throne
i yearn for my true loves touch
i desire it so much

i know the heart seeks not

"..to remind us of the ones held back /
upfront there ought to be a Man in Black"

- Johnny Cash

i will not dispense pain
i will not offer shame
seeking a greater glory
seeking a purer story

i know the power of bended knee
to seek the divinity
i know the heart seeks not
ridicule for its lot

i will take the lowest chair
and i will dare
to dine on what is put before me
and grateful be

well met we be

this is yearning
this is learning
waiting wondering hoping
stuttering muttering moping

the truth does not fit
the picture of wit
well met we be
now you are free

the good lord shall bring
a brand new spring
and flowers shall grow
where the snow did blow

to join in the Great Recovery

rise and rise again
till we are free from sin
we are brought together
by failures cruel tether

break free we must
put an end to lust
to join in the Great Recovery
and set ourselves free

so much can be had
so much to make us glad
for forgoing a little pleasure
and storing up our treasure

to make of as we will

it is eternity calling
it is pride falling
it is forever it does seem
to live this dream

what a great gift is time
to spend on what we define
to make of as we will
until finally we are still

care you take
in all that you make
and on what you spend
your most precious gem

is it like a river flowing

what is love?
is it a gift from above?
is it chemicals in our blood?
is it all that is good?

is it like the wind
blowing here and then gone again?
is it like a river flowing
never straight, always twisting and turning?

is it a candle in the dark
or a fair summer day at the park
i dont know that i can say
for is it love if it does not stay?
