Dear Lord

Dear Lord
I'm sitting here,
with so much I need to tell you,
but you can see deep inside,
you know the darkness, and
my thoughts
I feel cold, I feel alone
Yet you're here with me
Ive been blessed by you
refreshed and renewed by your love
you given me inspiration
Dear Lord,
I need to reach out, hold your hand
walk with you, leaving the imprints
of my steps behind,
I need to feel the healing ointment
pour over me
I need to be silent and listen and
hear your soft voice,
deep inside,
I know Lord that your presence
is right beside me,
Father, may I once again
sense the sweet fragrance of your
peace and hope,
I know its always been here its
just waiting to be refreshed and
watered by your Spirit
nutured by your gentleness
in the dry places of my being
and the warmth of your Sonshine
to shine again, so the seed can
grow to reach, up to the Heavens
to reveal the most fragrant bloom
of eternity.
thank you Lord.
