Poems for One

Poems for One...it's how i'm feelin' Dec 2 2007 10:31 PM

During periods of doubt, it is good to remember what the Lord has done
....
As I thought about the day
As I thought about the who
The who of who you are
My Lord that I’ve called friend
Since my hands were small as rose flowers
I thought about the days gone by
Those things already done
And I remembered a goodness
A glorious mercy
Reaching all throughout those days
Never quitting on a doubtful soul
Of mine
And always loving
...
I remember how I ask
And you give
How I pray
And you answer
How I doubt
And you don’t change
Ever-faithful Lord
I remember

As I dance in support of the International Justice Mission, I cling to the hope that God is using me as a messenger to change the hearts of onlookers
....
Feel my face in sadness
The people watch
And I can take them to a pain
To the suffering orphan
To the dust of Russia
In my face
I urge them
Come
And see what hurts them now

Feel my arms reaching
Muscles constricted
I reveal to them the cry
The beaten hearts of daughters
The blood-quenched soil of Africa
With my arms
I urge them
Come
And see what hurts them now

Feel my feet in power
Crushing chains of oppression
I will show them hope
Though smeared into the earth
Though torn from all liberty
With my feet
I urge them
Come
And hope with them now

It is easy to become prideful when you are on a stage with lights and audience. But to dance in humility is true worship
....
To dance
Is it for glory?
No
And then yes
For glory
Your’s alone

When you look up to someone, it gets hard to let their thoughts about you not change you. I should not change, in heartsong, for anyone but my Lord
....
Why do I hang on every word he says?
its making me frustrated
I don't want to be so attached
to another's thoughts
of me
For then it's not about awesome them
or awesome You
but about what Who has to say about
me me me
I want to Not hear him
or to hear something different
I want to not care
yet love him caringly
I want to be unattached to his thoughts of me
yet deeply attached to his thoughts of You
I want to think about Your e-mails
Your replys
not his
He is lovely
He is Your's
I am lovely
I am Your's
But you Lord
are lovliest of all
And all universe is Your's
I want to dwell on You
and hang on every word You say.
