Dear God

Folder: 
slightly old poems

I'm sitting on the dock,

watching the sun set on the harbor;

I skip another rock,

And watch the ripples through the water.



I don't know why i fel this way,

What happend to me?

I want to hear Your voice again,

How can things change so quickly?



I'm hitting too many high notes,

I expect so much out of life;

I'm living in a straight jacket,

And can't quite reach the knife.



Every painfull sin,

Pushing me against the wall;

Telling me I'll never be good enough,

That it won't be long before i fall.



I wish night didn't bring darkness,

Because, Lord, i want to see;

I want to trust with peace,

And be what you want me to be.



You'll wipe my staining tears,

And they'll turn to blood in your hand;

I want you to walk beside me,

Invisible foot-prints in the sand.



Because every time i want to fly,

The clouds block what i need to see;

Every time i want to walk,

My shaddow tries to trip me.



But even a flower,

Can be stripped of it's peddles;

But it's roots grow deep,

And the storm eventually settles.



It's hard to swollow the truth, God,

But even worse to spit it out;

Most of the time it's truth,

That i can't help but doubt.



I look longingly toward the stars,

Knowing that you stared in the same way;

When you stood in my place,

And I know that i'll be okay.



You hold me long,

And whisper my name;

I want to be covered in your presence,

And burning with your flame.



Dear Lord,

Fill me up;

Hold me close,

I'll NEVER give up.



Dear Jesus,

Please just love me;

Sometimes I don't trust,

And i feel so lonely.



Dear God,

Give me a sunrise;

Give me a new life,

Full of bright skies.
