Father


Father
I long for you
I thirst for you
For you alone

Father
My heart beats for you
Everything I say and do
I lay before your throne

Father
I seek your will
Let me be still
As I wait for you

Father
Love cannot express
Nor words confess
How you make me new

Father
I'm with you now
Through the up and down
I'll never let you go

Father
Let my words be loud
And my actions sound
To help people grow

Father
I praise you now
For your renown 
Is my heart's desire

Father
Let your mercy fall
And your people call
Set them on fire

Father
Open up the gates
For your love invades
The darkest place

Father
I thank you
For everything you do
And your amazing grace

Father
This I pray
In your holy name
Amen

My poems are written about the good, the bad, everything in between, mostly influenced by my life. If mountain high or valley low, there is always something that drives me, something that keeps me going. As you read my poems you will discover that they are all connected. I hope you will enjoy reading them.
