Papa, take me...

How do I express in words a cry that burns and consumes me; I have been captured by a joy that shines more than any tear, with a hunger to pursue and know You; My desire today is that I can hear of your fame, of your shining light, that You may come and conquer me with Your Love, reach me with Your Grace, renew me with Your Hope. Pour out your overwhelming Goodness that drives me to repentance; Rest and be at peace my soul, bow before Your only King, Your only Lover, Your Savior.

My heart is exploding, longing to be with You and the more I seek you the more I want, but more distant I find myself to be because you become so much greater, so much more inviting; I find myself but then I get lost once again; blow the flames of the deep places inside of me, feed the fire with your air; Sing a song to my spirit like the cricket sings to the night, never ending constant and peaceful, that holds a message of fellowship and unity. Hope and Love of my life;

Happy Birthday Daddy, I am your gift today;
