O the intimacy to be next to you. It’s better than sin. Far better than that pleasure and fear. Drawing near to You there is no fear. I do not shake and my conscience is clear. Jesus, I want You. In Your presence is where I want to live again. My Lord, draw me near to You. Can we walk together again? I believe we can. I belong with You. What is bound my heart…may it be Yours. May my heart Lord be Yours. Have Your way in me.
The bands of the wicked have robbed me. I’ve uttered what has not helped. The well seems to be filled without You. Yet Your not letting me go. Jesus, why? I give you nothing to work with. I’m a mess. You still are here. You still pull on my heart. O my Lord. When I turn it seems shallow but I believe You are approving.
Nothing really has satisfied except to do this. Except to love You. Except to be in Your presence. Can I come closer? Can I kiss You again? My Father. I’m your son. Somewhere in coming back home it seems I get lost, but can You come to Me. Can You come to Me? Thank you. I see Your open arms and eyes. All fear is gone. I want to return.
Another has spoken my name and I’ve listened. Other things have won. Forgive me. Jesus. In your presence I want to be. Hold me. Please keep doing so. Your hands in mine. Your lips upon mine. Abba, Father. Be my Lover. Help me receive. Help me receive You into me. Penetrate my insides. Remove and replace what You will.
