Christ is everything

I am the object of His desire

I mean everything to Him

He seeks me out and draws me to Himself

Open and true with no hesitation

That He could love me so much

Is beyond my wildest dreams

But I dare to believe it

I dare to believe it

He is the object of my desire

He means everything to me

I seek Him out and draw near to Him

Open and true with no hesitation

That I could love Him so much

Is beyond my wildest dreams

But I dare to believe it

I dare to believe it

Too much

So much noise surrounds us every day

We wade through it all with confusion threatening to rule

Busy at the tasks before us

No time for Truth any more

When did the burdens of this life become our God

When did escape become our idol

When did the numbness we seek become foremost

Before the One we profess to serve

Is it enough to go through the motions

To set our hands to our plows

Without heartfelt praise and adoration

Without His face before us

Bereft of Truth and Light we labor

All in vain we toil

Much to much the busyness of life

Without His love our throne.

So here we are working hard at the rules

Trying to obey and meet all the expectations

But what is it He desires of us?

To love God and love each other.

So here we are working hard at the rules

Trying to obey and meet all the expectations

But what is it He desires of us?

To love God and love each other.

Trying to be light, but it’s not easy.

To him (but not sent)

What would you have me say that is light?  I know only the lightness of the Lord and my heart which is joyful in Him.  There is also heaviness because of concern; burdens for those I love.

He is my desire, the air I breathe and the fullness of my heart.  But the burning has finished.  The opening has closed and you have declined to allow God to speak to you through me as you did before.  I have not changed, you had opened your heart but have closed it again.  It is just like my church, where I pour out the things that God has given me but my efforts seem to fall flat and dissipate without accomplishing His desire.  There is a wall now that blocks me from your heart and I can no longer feel you.

I continue to pray that He will open your heart again, that He will heal your spirit and heart and show you the truth about love.

My desire is for His will, but you are not there any more.

So He has numbed my feelings a bit to protect me.  He loves me so much.

I am sailing through tunnels and see only the distant shores that might have been a place of rest.  But the Captain of the ship knows where to bring me and who will board with us.  He is trustworthy and true and will not stear me wrong.  So I rest in the comfort of that knowledge and look forward to the rest of the journey.  I am so glad that you are on this ship with me, a true mate that joins in the labor on the way.  We sing and work together with our fellows in His service.  We love Him and one another – that is the only rule.
