Many Things

Hunger fills
as each moments stills
and I crave something more
in the dark, music filled room
there is something I am hungry for
to move
to do
to write

something about this is not right
and yet for this moment it is
and so I take great bliss
in knowing the blessing of being
in a place so full and freeing
but knowing too
that God knows what to do..

.even when I am fighting
a battle against His heart
to make my own plans, my own start
and He every time
gently helps me rhyme
to get to the part
where I realize His hope, His love
and His involvement from above

that He is not so full of rules
or teachable tools
but really a gift of grace
a familiar face
that cups our head
and gives us bread
or friends
or family
yes, You are more to me
than the things I read
or understand
because I have been given life
directly from Your hand.

God has greatly blessed my life through new things ( :

"Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praises from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof."
   -Isaiah 42:9-10

A well intentioned look
I read you like a book
put your pages you closed shut
and I asked you," What?"

You said, you'd tell me later
and to remember the date
you better believe I wrote it down
this was going to be something great

//

So as we sat on the bench
legs almost swinging and all

who knew
I'd be ready for the fall
of the words on my ears...

did I hear you clear??

and yet as doubts spread around me
I am filled only with light
knowing that this next step is both godly
and right
only God can have the last say
but I know this today
He led me to you
and He will lead us through

And as I look forward with hope
less and less I need to cope
but more I feel filled to the brim
with ecstacy
as if I dove in any more
I would be
swallowed whole
mind, Spirit, soul

but God has gently set me apart
to involve only my heart
and not to overwhelm my mind
but to fill me with a kind
of peace
to show me the piece
that I had been missing and that now is full

seeing so clearly now
all the rules
and how within them winds His love

and how He has orchestrated this from above
like Perez, & Boaz, & many more
God has done this plenty times before

and its not from the easy that He gave us son
but from many messed up persons, yes everyone one
with a faith for You and a heart to serve.

persons who against their circumstances had quite the nerve
and though I am far from that great woman this thing to say
but Lord thank you for being with me each day

And as things become more definite
as it becomes a "this is it" moment
and we begin to hint
at things to come
my heart is so content

the future spreads out in front without fear
but rather excitement draws near
and wraps around my heart
what a wonderful start
to a new adventure
prayed over and lifted up
with expectency
let's see
what God has freed and set apart
because only He could give us this beautiful start!
