Seeking
God has so made our heart that nothing can ever fill it but God Himself ~ Charles Spurgeon
I searched for happiness on shores of romance
There were only passing fancies there,
I needed another chance…
To find the truth, the way through the dark,
The life that was joyful – for this is what I sought
I searched for inspiration on a trembling muse
There were only gentle vibrations there,
I needed to find the whispers…
The stirrings of a gentling, a feeling breathing…
With wonders beyond imagining – hues of pleasure
I searched for beautiful on the tears that poured out
There in dew, the rain, the intimacy dripping
I needed to know the sensation…
Coloring my dreams in splendors rising, risking
The music in skies – erasing every doubt, each sorrow
I searched for remarkable on the wings of each season
There were whimsical winds, dancing leaves,
I needed to feel the astonishment…
Grace smiling through the spring sonnets, forests
Alive with the tenderness – keeping soft reflections
I searched for light on the stardust moments, nightly
There were glistening memories there,
I needed to believe, have faith…
Assurance that heaven is real and I can truly see
The wonder beyond the tear stained clouds, glowing
I searched for serenity on the gusts of freedom’s flow
There amid the clusters of psalms, prayers,
I needed to understand peace…
Promising me the miracles of grace that saves,
Bleeding through the walls I’ve built around my heart
I searched for truth on the laughing sparks shimmering
There with all the fires of love growing,
I needed to listen to His wisdoms…
Revealing the way through the past, the darkness
Into the redeeming promises, the deliverance, the gospel
When I finally knew Him, the way that I could have
All those many moments before, when I ignored
The beautiful, the wonderful, the joyful…
There in His presence, the way to see past the fears
Into the life that is forever, always… eternally I’m His!
