I need You Yeshua
Shift and break, strene and place…
close to Your heart.

You captivate me
You apprehend my imagination, and comprehension
and lay me bare

In the night hours where the dark lingers and simmers
I wait and consider You, for You know me
You’re in my head, You know my ambitions and concerns

In desperation, nightfall, wintertime, & cold
I cling to You

In springtime, flower bloom, waterfalls, and stars and moon
I cleave to You

In summer’s heat, rainstorm’s breeze, and arid region solitude
I glaum at You

In the Fall winds, and stride, jouney’s quickened pace draws to my knees

Ancient key unlock the symphony of a heart
Complaisant to Your love thundering of justice
Compelled of Your love violent with peace
Bound of a life held in wonder
Found of a heart awakened from slumber

Sanctify by Your truth
Purify by Your Word by Your truth
Consecrate by Your Spirit, by Your Word, by Your truth

Tear apart hopes, desires
Bind together a heart shorn and worn
Torn to You and mended by You
Torn by You and made whole by You

Come King to redeem
Come King to stream a heart broken fallen, wretched and blind
To be lost in Your glory
To be lost in Your story
Come and tenderize this stone
Come crack this grip so tightly holding to itself
Carve into this heart grown a path ancient and still untold
Through the neoteric strike a chord ages old
Chorus strong, ancient throng
Idee Fixe a wandering heart
Preoccupate, Your fire consume
Consummate, take this sacrifice…this sacrifice of praise

Even so come
In the night and the day
and the flight of my heart
In the joy and mundane
and dawn and new start
Strip myself to see the glimpse of Your majesty

 Sing a song and give me ears to hear
A rustling, a noise, a stirring
As You reach down deep into a place I do not dare
…My heart

My heart.

A new start.

A new breath to breathe.

A new song to sing.

And Your mercy,
the very affection of Your heart for me
draws me to refrain
as You call my name
through the madness of a mad world
to gaze upon Your frame
to listen deep to Your words
to hold on fast to Your name…
Your name above all else
Your name that gives me song
song stirred deep and loud to sing
to awaken the dawn

Twisting, dashing, curiling, climb
Throw a rope around thoughts
Thoughts that twist sublime
up a ladder of memory drifting to tomorrow

Why try and cry if you never know where tears go
Flow from two and fly to a sky that often sighs from mercy’s persistence

Day after day with the sun rise
Winter and freeze pull one more sonnet of solace
One more glance of grace
