Guidance
Why this pain?
Why all this hurt?
I stabbed myself
with fear
I injected self-sufficiency
in my veins,
confusion I inhaled.
Why do I feel You apart?
Are you really afar?
I'm still here,
still waiting for you
to accept my hug
and take my leading hand.
I'm still beside you;
But you'll feel me only
when you want to.
You'll sense my presence
only if you long for it.
You want tips only,
but I want to give you
much more than this
I want to give you direction
I want you to follow me,
I wait for your hand
to place it in my hand,
and take you with me
on my heights,
but I won't grab it
I won't force you
I won't drag you with me
I wait for your consent.
As I noticed his pierced tender hand
warm, heavy tears
were rolling down his face.
When they fell on the ground
the Earth was trembling.
Lord, if just your tears shake
the foundation of the Earth
How must your WORDS be?
But you don't use them
to kill me,
You speak your words
to raise me.
Oh GOD,
You're so gentle,
so compassionate,
Your love is far too high
for me to grasp,
and all I can do is to
surrender to your will.
I reach out my hand
to you,
please take it.
I want to come with you
wherever you want me.
Take my entire weary body
Still my confused mind
Fill my empty spirit
with YOURS.
Please forgive my stubbornness
and melt my icy heart.
I want to sense your presence
in the mist of my turmoil
and see you as you are,
model me into your image;
As I lose myself
within your love
give me rest...
simply,
quiet,
rest...
Give me your REST,
simply,
quiet,
rest.
