This heart searches for something more,
Images and words at my mind's shore.
Of thoughts crashing to no end,
From the ocean that forever sends,
Emotions now that make not sense,
Wishing to understand, my mind is spent.
Who is knocking at my heart's door,
Saying that he offers something more,
Then spending life with the weakest aim,
and promising a future life to gain?
I know that his line is perfectly straight,
As he once spoke of the narrowest gate.
Only those he knew could ever enter here,
Whether their motives pure, or tainted with fear.
For choosing this path, to life it will lead,
So let us embark, with the greatest of speed.
Though the evil inside still holds us down,
The Savior can make these prisonors unbound.
We claim to know this truth without doubts,
But a life changed within is changed too without.
Though from him is the greatest love ever shown,
We daily behave as if this Savior's unknown.
I cannot yet mock, nor place the blame,
For my guilt in this matter with theirs is the same.
O Lord hear my prayer, attend to my cry,
I will come to your face, I will not be shy.
This thing we call life I don't yet understand,
Yet of you, Soveriegn Lord, can I make a demand?
As you told Job, you are greater than all mankind,
May these truths let us leave our doubts behind.
Still I don't know, and likely never will,
Can I simply adore, and follow you still?
Lord forgive my always wond'ring heart,
May you bind it to thee, every single part.
Now I'm done, these simple words are through,
Yet may I and those around may always speak to you.
Amen, Maranatha
